Description
Summary:The creation of Nunavut opened many possibilities for Inuit educators to take on leadership, but it also meant that a wide range of knowledge and skills were required to meet qualifications for leadership at the community, school, and territorial levels. This report summarizes the successes and challenges of one innovative higher learning program developed to fill this need, the Nunavut Master of Education (Nunavut MEd) program, first offered by the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) in 2006 to 2009, and offered again from 2010 to 2013. "The funding partner, the Nunavut Department of Education, commissioned this report on the program offered from 2010 to 2013." http://projects.upei.ca/nunavut/files/2015/03/We_are_Building_a_critical_voice_together_2015_Wheatley.pdf
