There are two foundational curricula that form the basis of all classroom instruction in the Northwest Territories K-12 education system.  The Dene Kede curriculum provides a framework from which all instruction in all other curriculum areas is delivered.  This Dene world view honours the culture and values of the people of the Northwest Territories.

 

Similarly, the Inuuqatigiit curriculum provides the instructional foundation from the Inuit world view.  This framework informs instruction in all other curriculum areas for those communities where the Inuit culture is the culture of the students and their communities or their heritage.
