Aboriginal Teacher Education Program

Tân'si and welcome to the Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (ATEP).

ATEP is the canoe beside the big ship. ATEP is a Bachelor of Education degree (B.Ed.) program that paddles alongside the Faculty of Education on the beautiful kisiskâciwanisîpiy (North Saskatchewan River).

kisiskâciwanisîpiy is the lifeblood for Treaty 6 Territory as it has been for countless generations of Indigenous peoples who since time immemorial call this place–amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton)–home.
