Indian Education for All Online Book Club Course
Native American Literature
The text used in this book club targets high school students and adult readers; however, teachers of all grades and content areas will build background knowledge and learn instructional strategies that will facilitate the integration of Indian Education for All. The primary text is an anthology to include a wealth of literature written by some of the best classic authors and the finest contemporary voices. Participants will read and review the
Essential Understandings of Montana Indians and the book, Glencoe Native American Literature, by Glencoe McGraw-Hill. The Essential Understandings Regarding Montana Indians will serve as a guide for critical analysis of the anchor text.
Through readings and examinations of high-quality and authentic literature and teaching materials, participants will explore a variety of literature and professional teaching materials and develop instructional strategies, a final project and one lesson plan for the immediate integration of IEFA into their classrooms.
This course is the equivalent to 15 classroom hours (15 OPI professional development units), which is the equivalent of 1 university credit. This is a self-paced course, but do not expect to complete it in one sitting! Course participants must be comfortable working independently and be self-motivated to complete all work within the flexible time frame. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T REGISTER FOR MORE THAN TWO COURSES AT ONE TIME.
