Last week, Jim Legge and I finally visited the Nunavut Teacher Education Program in the community of Gjoa Haven. This was our third attempt to do so…..it was certainly worth the wait!

Gyu Oh, Fine Arts faculty member with the Nunavut Teacher Education Program, has had a very successful semester. Earlier in the term her Year 3 students staged an ambitious and innovative Art Exhibit at Nunatta campus, Iqaluit. Having seen the response from the College community, our Year 1 students indicated an interest in doing the same.

I have attached pictures of some of our Year 1 students and samples of the work they produced. It included such items as: soap stone carvings; prints; print making; timelines and block carving.

We thank the students for their first steps into the Fine Arts arena and Gyu Oh for her efforts on their behalf.

The Nunavut Teacher Education Program and the Nunavut Teachers Association have renewed a key partnership. As a consequence of the agreement, fourth-year NTEP students will be vested with the same rights, responsibilities and professional benefits as regular members of the Nunavut Teachers Association. For example, this will permit them to now register, attend and participate in scheduled sessions during the Territory wide Professional Development Conference to be held in Iqaluit in February / 2012. This partnership will provide opportunities for our Student Teachers to engage in capacity building and enhance their skill sets as they move along the path to degree completion through the University of Regina.
