  • The Case of Nunavut's Educational Leadership Program (ELP)
    Exploring School Principal Preparation and Development in Northern Canada: The Case of Nunavut’s Educational Leadership Program (ELP) by Eric Fredua-Kwarteng A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Educational Administration, Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Eric Fredua-Kwarteng, 2013 Exploring School Principal Preparation and Development in Northern Canada: The Case of Nunavut’s Educational Leadership Program (ELP) Eric Fredua-Kwarteng Doctor of Educational Administration and Policy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) 2013 Abstract The purpose of this research was to explore how Nunavut Educational Leadership (ELP), a school principal preparation program in Nunavut Territory, Canada, fulfills Inuit (the indigenous people of the territory) educational aspirations. In accordance with this purpose, the study focuses on answering four specific questions: (1) what are Inuit educational aspirations? (2) What is the context for Inuit education? (3) How is the Nunavut Educational Leadership Program organized to meet its objectives? (4) How do the activities of the Nunavut Educational Leadership Program (ELP) fulfill Inuit educational aspirations? Adopting an exploratory case study design grounded in qualitative approaches and undergirded by critical interpretative perspective, the research triangulates both primary and secondary sources of data. The primary data sources come from individual semi-structured interviews of 35 respondents (18 community members, 3 program development members, 3 presenters/facilitators, 7 program participants, and 4 educational officials) selected across Nunavut Territory. These sources are complemented with relevant secondary documents from 1987 to 2010.

The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory Holly Ann Dobbins Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Dobbins, Holly Ann, "Nunavut, A Creation Story. The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory" (2019).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This is a qualitative study of the 30-year land claim negotiation process (1963-1993) through which the Inuit of Nunavut transformed themselves from being a marginalized population with few recognized rights in Canada to becoming the overwhelmingly dominant voice in a territorial government, with strong rights over their own lands and waters. In this study I view this negotiation process and all of the activities that supported it as part of a larger Inuit Movement and argue that it meets the criteria for a social movement. This study bridges several social sciences disciplines, including newly emerging areas of study in social movements, conflict resolution, and Indigenous studies, and offers important lessons about the conditions for a successful mobilization for Indigenous rights in other states. In this research I examine the extent to which Inuit values and worldviews directly informed movement emergence and continuity, leadership development and, to some extent, negotiation strategies.

    The North is a barometer of climate change and a harbinger of what lies in store for the planet. - Ron Freedman, Canada Research Horizons Prepared by Jamie Bastedo, Cygnus Environmental, Yellowknife For The Honourable Nick G. Sibbeston, Senator for the Northwest Territories ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to Senator Nick Sibbeston who provided the original inspiration and leadership for this report. To distill the latest developments in northern climate change is a big challenge given how rapidly it is advancing and how diverse are its many signs. For help in finding and packaging the most relevant stories from the “frontlines”, I thank Senator Sibbeston’s Policy Advisor, Hayden Trenholm. I am also grateful to David Malcolm, Former Executive Director, Arctic Energy Alliance, and Doug Ritchie of Ecology North for their substantial contributions to my research. I also thank Weledeh MLA Bob Bromley and GNWT climate change expert Jim Sparling for their research advice. Funding for this project was provided from Liberal Senate Caucus Research Funds. - Jamie Bastedo, Yellowknife, December 2007 Main cover photo: A massive forest fire licks at the outskirts of Tulita during the summer of 1995. The 1990s witnessed a marked increase in the frequency of forest fires in the NWT as well as longer burning seasons, associated with earlier springs and later falls.
