SUMMARY:Professional Development for K–12 educators
DESCRIPTION:Professional Development  \nThis virtual workshop is for K–12 educators across multiple content areas. Confluence Professional Development’s purpose is to educate teachers in the pedagogy of Indigenous curriculum and lessons. It is to prepare adults\, teachers\, and educators with a more perceptive understanding of Native American lifeways\, history\, cultural traditions\, and ecology that define our Native identity. \nOver the two-day virtual workshop\, the cohort will learn directly from Indigenous workshop facilitators/speakers and have the opportunity to think through Indigenous education concepts together using materials from Confluence Media Library\, our publications\, Columbia River Sites\, and our work from Camp Confluence and Confluence in the Classroom. We will also show the parallels of our work at Confluence with Oregon’s Tribal History/Shared History and Washington’s Since Time Immemorial curriculums. \nThis cohort will meet on Zoom on Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 at 4–6pm. Our theme this month is: \nVoices of the River Volume 1: Stories to Be Told – Ancestors Always Present \nRegister HERE
