Very excited to be co-presenting at this years Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium #SILS27 ! My team will be presenting on the Kahnawà:ke Education Center’s NEȾOLṈEW̱ project which focuses on supporting in-service immersion teachers.

Title: Defining the role of an Indigenous language teacher coach

Description: The Kahnawake Education Center is carrying out a study that looks to define the role and impacts of an Indigenous language teacher coach. The project is focused on supporting our immersion teachers to develop their professional capacities in three areas: 1)teaching pedagogy, 2)cultural knowledge and 3)language proficiency. This will lead to the development of a strong professional development plan for all our in-service Kanien’keha immersion teachers. The project is part of the NETOLNEW Partnership Grant involving 9 communities across Canada, headed by Indigenous scholars Onowa McIvor & Peter Jacobs.

My co-presenters are Kahtehrón:ni Iris Stacey & Tsohahí:io Lauren Deom
