IEFA Special Topics Course 1 Open for registration now through March 15, 2020 The self-paced online course is composed of five distinct units. Each unit is the equivalent of 1 University credit or 15 OPI renewal units. Upon registration, participants select which units/how many credits they wish to take. The five units included in Course One are: 1) Who Will Tell My Brother?: The Indian Mascot Controversy 2) Honoring Native Women’s Voices 3) American Indian Short Stories 4) American Indian Poetry 5) Biographies of Native Americans: Contemporary and Historic Instructors: Sindie Kennedy (sindie.kennedy@gmail.com) Erin Lipkind (erinlipkind@gmail.com) Michele McGuire (writersmandala@gmail.com) Previous knowledge of IEFA and the Essential Understandings is helpful but not necessary for participants to successfully complete the course; prerequisite content will be provided for participant’s perusal. |
Participants will explore resources developed by the Office of Public Instruction alongside primary source documents and carefully selected literature, both fiction and non-fiction, as they deepen their knowledge of the Essential Understandings. Most required materials will be provided in the course Moodle, though participants may need to seek additional resources at school or public libraries or online as part of the course requirements.
