Message from Coordinator – Jennifer Anaquod
Jennifer Anaquod is from Muscowpetung First Nation in Saskatchewan and has been a guest on Coast Salish territory for many years now. Jennifer focuses on tying traditional ways of knowing and learning into classroom activities and interactions with teacher candidates. Jennifer is thrilled with her current role as the NITEP Fraser Valley and Lillooet coordinator. As a NITEP graduate, Jennifer has been honored and humbled to be able to give back to a program that changed her life in such a positive way. She looks forward to watching the positive changes current NITEP students have on the educational system in the future. For Jennifer the best part of being part of the NITEP team is the sense of family and belonging it brings.
