Registration is now OPEN for our fall course offering: Indigenous Awareness and Culturally Responsive Teaching! This free, 3-credit course is open to all K-12 educators in Alaska, including administrators and school staff, and is eligible for teacher recertification.

Indigenous Awareness and Culturally Responsive Teaching is an introductory course designed to support educators in reflecting on their own cultural identities while deepening their understanding of Indigenous perspectives, cultural values, and ways of knowing. Participants will explore Indigenous pedagogy, culturally responsive teaching approaches, and the lasting impacts of intergenerational trauma. Through this learning, educators will strengthen their ability to build meaningful relationships with students and create more inclusive, respectful, and responsive classroom environments.
