NY | Native Knowledge 360° Teach-In

The ninth annual Native Knowledge 360° Teach-In, hosted by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in collaboration with Teaching for Change, is an opportunity for educators to convene in person and strategize ways to uplift and bring Native voices directly into the classroom. $20 fee, registration required: https://www.teachingforchange.org/nyc-native-knowledge-teach-in

Teachers play a crucial role in advancing the museum’s work to transform popular understandings of Native histories, cultures, and contemporary lives. Participants will select two workshop breakout sessions. Each session includes resource-rich experiences, such as classroom lessons about Native peoples and topics; resources from Teaching for Change and the National Museum of the American Indian; and strategies for effectively incorporating the museum’s exhibitions in New York City into classroom curricula. The goal of the Teach-In is to increase awareness of the museum’s Native Knowledge 360° (NK360°) national education initiative, which promotes improved teaching about Native American communities through classroom lessons. Recommended for grades K–12.

This event will be hosted IN PERSON at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in New York City (1 Bowling Green). Coffee, snacks, and a catered lunch will be provided. We encourage participants to bring a reusable water bottle.
