The Kahnawà:ke Education Center (KEC) joined the NETOLNEW language project (SSHRC Partnership) in 2018. Through this partnership, the KEC is working on supporting teachers within Kahnawà:ke immersion schools by bolstering teacher supports in a number of areas including language proficiency, pedagogy, and cultural knowledge. This new partnership will help further Karonhianónhnha Tsi Ionterihwaienstáhkhwa’s language plan.

Wahéhshon Shiann Whitebean (Skátne Enionkwaió’ten Coordinator) was hired in October 2019 as an Educational Research Assistant for the NETOLNEW project.
