Teachers play a crucial role in advancing the museum’s work to transform popular understandings of Native histories, cultures, and contemporary lives. Participants may select two workshop breakout sessions. Each session guides educators through the effective use of classroom lessons and resources from Teaching for Change and the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). The teach-in fosters awareness of the museum’s Native Knowledge 360° (NK360°) national education initiative, which promotes improved teaching about Native American communities through online and classroom lessons. Teaching for Change and museum educators will share key concepts from the NMAI’s Essential Understandings Framework, children’s literature from Social Justice Books, and teaching materials from the museum’s Native Knowledge 360° national education initiative.
