Native American Heritage Month and Class 7 Teacher Opportunities
In 1990, President George W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November as Native American Heritage Month. This month is designated to celebrate the unique culture and history of our 574 Federally recognized tribes and their important contributions to our nation's history.
This month provides a great opportunity to integrate Indian Education for All into your curricula and learning activities. Check out the OPI IEFA website for content and ideas.
Also,
As a part of our Tribal Language revitalization efforts, we are offering stipends and other compensation to Class 7 teachers who would like to share or create a deliverable for the OPI to utilize and promote within the Tribal Language teaching community. Deliverables might include webinars, curricula, language teaching frameworks, or other resources. Contact Jonathan "Jay" Eagleman if you are interested:
