Native Ways of Knowing LIVE Webinars

Supporting Literacy and Culturally Responsive Instruction for Native American Students
San Diego County Office of Education and California Indian Education for All are hosting a free, Native Ways of Knowing Webinar Series. K-12 educators and leaders are invited to learn from Dr. Debbie Reese in a six-session series to access free culturally responsive resources to improve representations and classroom climates for teaching and learning about California's first peoples. Participants will gain knowledge on supporting literacy and culturally responsive instruction for Native American students.

Dr. Debbie Reese of Nambé Pueblo, founder of the American Indians in Children's Literature, will provide critical analysis of Indigenous peoples in children's and young adult books. This series is designed to offer interactive and responsive Native Ways of Knowing professional learning. Dr. Reese will discuss why representations matter and how we can think differently about the classics book selection we continue to pass down to generations and using culturally responsive strategies when selecting titles for young readers. Each session will include access to free, open-source lesson plans, resources, and instructional materials.

Participants will reflect on the following:

  • Whose stories do we chose 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?

All live, virtual webinars will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. PST
