Project Title
Indigenous Voices: Building Understanding in Idaho Classrooms
Project Summary
Amber Warrington will partner with the Boise State Writing Project and Indigenous writers, historians, and educators on a week-long professional development workshop to help K-12 English and social studies teachers in Idaho incorporate knowledge of Indigenous tribes into curricula. Teachers will explore the tribes’ histories, cultures, and literature through study and readings, facilitated visits to important local sites, pedagogical exercises, and peer conversation. The workshop will culminate in participants’ presentations of newly created lesson plans to their colleagues. Afterward, beyond the effects in graduates’ own classrooms, they will become ambassadors and mentors for other teachers.
