Teaching & Learning

About

Rupertsland Centre for Teaching and Learning develops comprehensive foundational knowledge resources, engaging lesson plans, meaningful professional development opportunities and authentic classroom learning tools that speak accurately and meaningfully to topics in Métis education.

As an affiliate of the Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA), RLI is accountable to its sole shareholder – the Métis people of Alberta – as represented by the MNA Provincial Council and to our funding partners at the federal and provincial governments. In 2012, the MNA gave RLI the mandate for Métis education, making us the educational authority over Métis education in Alberta. We partner with MNA leaders, community, and citizens for many different projects to serve the Nation.

Vision Statement

RCTL envisions education in Alberta to include an understanding of Métis foundational knowledge, Métis content and Métis resources for ALL learners and educators to access in an authentic, purposeful way. 

Mission Statement

Through the Rupertsland Centre for Teaching and Learning (RCTL), our mission is to implement transformational, research-informed, community-guided education.

RCTL is committed to empowering educators to develop and apply foundational knowledge about Métis, as outlined in Alberta Education’s Leadership Quality Standard (LQS) and Teaching Quality Standard Competency #5.
