Teaching With and About Native Americans Professional Dev.

Description

Teaching With and About Native Peoples, is a professional learning opportunity from Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy offered in partnership with Champaign County Forest Preserves.Understanding Native Peoples’ histories, cultures, and contemporary issues is essential to a comprehensive education about the United States. A recent amendment to the Illinois School Code now requires U.S. history instruction to include Native Americans’ roles, contributions, sovereignty, and self-determination.This professional learning experience prepares educators across subject areas to meet this mandate by deepening their knowledge and strengthening their practice in teaching with and about Native Peoples by centering their voices, perspectives, and presence into the future.Contact hours offered: 6 CEUQuestions: please contact Selena Gonzalez, sgonzalez@ccfpd.org.
