KEC NETOLNEW Language Project
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.
KEC Secures ALI Implementation Grant
The Kahnawà:ke Education Center & Project Leader Kahtehrón:ni Iris Stacey secured an implementation grant from the Aboriginal Languages Initiative in the fall of 2019. The purpose of this second grant is to support the implementation and further development of the Five-Year Strategic Plan for Language Revitalization in Kahnawà:ke. The grant will support one full-time or two part-time project facilitators to work closely with community schools and organizations on their language plans.
