Program Details

Learning Facilitator School: Thompson Rivers University Degree: Certificate Field of Study: Adult and Continuing Education and Teaching Description: This program is designed to meet the needs of mature adults with current work experience in an educational setting, but little or no post-secondary background. It is intended primarily for individuals of Aboriginal heritage and/or those currently working with Aboriginal learners in diverse educational settings. The main purposes of the program are to broaden and deepen the understandings, skills, and abilities of Aboriginal support workers in their educational roles, to recognize and validate their achievements, and to develop their confidence for further university studies. The Learning Facilitators' certificate is intended to be a work-and-learn program, organized to facilitate a successful transition between workplace experience in education and formal academic endeavours. It combines intensive academic studies during the summers with mentored, community-based learning experiences in the fall and spring semesters. Learning is supported throughout the program by ongoing one-to-one interactions with individual mentors, as well as web-based resources, online communications, and participation in both face-to-face and on-line seminars and discussion groups.
