We are excited to launch our fourth year of Native Ways of Knowing Book Club Webinars that begin on Thursday, September 25. We have a wonderful schedule of Native authors and illustrators. All webinars are on select Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Join our upcoming Native Ways of Knowing webinars. K-12 educators, librarians, administrators, and tribal community are invited to learn from several renowned Native American and Alaska Native authors, professors, scholars, and change makers. Participants will access free culturally responsive literacy resources to improve representations and classroom climates for teaching and learning about California’s First Peoples. Live and interactive webinar Book Clubs are designed for participants to gain knowledge on supporting literacy, cultural competency, and culturally responsive instruction for all students, especially Native American students and families. Each session will have access to free lesson plans, resources, and instructional resources. We welcome those who share a commitment for improving access, opportunities, and support to allow Native American students and families to thrive in school.
Participants will reflect on the following:
- Whose stories do we choose to promote?
- How can we design more actively-centered Native stories and experiences?
- How can we use children's books to broaden our community conversation about race and decolonization?
- What ways can schools design programs and structures to honor Native Ways of Knowing?
