Native Knowledge 360 Summer Teacher Institute

Native Knowledge 360° (NK360°) is the National Museum of the American Indian's national initiative to inspire and support transformative teaching and learning about American Indians. NK360° offers dynamic educational resources and professional development opportunities for educators. 

They are recruiting educators--especially those whose primary teaching focus is within the social studies, English language arts, or library sciences and who work with students in grades 4–12--to apply for their Summer Teacher Institute, which will be held July 9-11, 2019. The Institute is designed for education professionals (teachers, teacher educators, instructional coordinators/curriculum specialists, librarians/media specialists) who recognize a need for, and are interested in advancing their practice of incorporating more complete narratives about American Indian histories, cultures, and contemporary lives into their teaching.

Applications are due May 6. The institute is free of charge and housing and lunches will be provided for the duration of the institute. However, attendees are responsible for the cost of their travel to and from Washington, D.C. 

P.S. Closer to home, we're looking for a few great high school teachers to join our MHS Teacher Leaders in History program and attend our June summit in Helena. Applications are due May 5. Learn more about the Teacher Leaders program here.
