About this event:
This training will provide an in-depth presentation and discussion on American Indian Studies (Wisconsin Act 31). The focus of the training is to help educators understand and implement Wisconsin Act 31, which is a state law requiring all school districts and educator preparation programs to provide instruction on the histories, cultures, and tribal sovereignty of the American Indian Nations of Wisconsin.
This training is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and information they need to integrate the requirements of American Indian Studies into lesson plans, material selections, pedagogical practices, and district curriculum. Information about the Tribal Nations of Wisconsin histories, treaty rights, sovereignty, and cultures of Wisconsin will be presented throughout the workshop.
The goals of this training are to share best practices, information, model programs, and resources with participants so that they are knowledgeable about American Indian Studies (Wisconsin Act 31) and are able to meet the requirements.
Please note the following information:
To fulfill the educator licensure stipulation for “Wisconsin American Indian tribes and bands” only, attendance at this full-day in-person training workshop is required, along with two follow-up assignments that will be discussed at the conclusion of the training workshop.
This is an in-person workshop at CESA 2. If there is inclement weather, this event will move to virtual only.
