Myths & Legends: Debunking American Indian Stereotypes for Educators

Myths & Legends: Debunking American Indian Stereotypes for Educators will help teachers look critically at stereotypes, historical myths, and inaccuracies that are pervasive in our educational and societal structures which often are harmful to American Indian students and their success outcomes.

This workshop will provide examples and guidelines of how to assess the accuracy of learning materials and avoid stereotypes and pitfalls that alienate American Indian students. This workshop is complementary to our other offerings which will continue the work of building inclusive classroom spaces to welcome and support American Indian students in the educational system.
