Our Crowdfunding Campaign
We are raising funds to support future Indigenous educators in their pursuit of their Bachelor's degree and teaching certificate in Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education.
S-ap'e'o, Kwakwha/Askwali, Lios Enchim Hioke Utte'esia, Thank you to our followers, contributors, sharers and communities!
What We Do
ITEP believes in the power of indigenizing education to sustain Indigenous cultures, knowledges, languages, and identities.
Before ITEP, the University of Arizona's Elementary Education program had less than 1% of teacher candidates who self-identified as Native American. Now, approximately 7% of teacher candidates in the Elementary Education program are from Indigenous backgrounds and the majority of those students are in ITEP.
