Learn about the Wisconsin Indian Tribes so you can use that learning in your classroom!   

Join us as we host guest speaker David O’Conner, Education Consultant with the American Indian Studies Program at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

David  connects with educators to provide support for their understanding of the histories, cultures, and tribal sovereignty of American Indian peoples, communities, and nations of Wisconsin. This day long workshop will provide in-depth presentation and discussion on American Indian Studies in Wisconsin (often referenced as Wisconsin Act 31).

Workshop Goals

• The workshop 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 Wisconsin American Indian nations’ histories, treaty rights, sovereignty, and cultures will be presented throughout the training workshop.
• The goals of the training are to share best practices, information, model programs, and resources with administrators and teachers so that they are knowledgeable about American Indian Studies in Wisconsin and are able to meet the requirements of Wisconsin Act 31.

***Please note this training workshop will remove the licensure stipulation if the training workshop is completed along with completing two follow-up assignments.
