The Kanien’kéha Teacher Coach is a rather new role at Karonhianónhnhna Tsi Ionterihwaienstáhkhwa that emerged through our research project within the NETOLNEW Partnership. In this video Kanerahtóntha describes her approach to supporting immersion teachers in their roles. She shares how relationship building, observation and questions that mediate self-reflection are important to providing teachers with the various supports they need. An addition, Kanerahtóntha highlights that working closely with teachers allowed her to celebrate and acknowledge their successes in supporting their students to learn Kanien’kéha.
