Save the Date “Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty Curriculum Basic and Training of Trainers Workshops Spring -- 2015 Since its initial online release nearly five years ago, the Tribal Sovereignty Curriculum has been revised, refined and become a model for curriculum nationwide. The first state endorsed curriculum to be aligned with Common Core Standards, the Tribal Sovereignty Curriculum is easy to implement because all lesson plans and materials are available on the website and it is completely free. The integration of tribal history and sovereignty into social studies lessons has never been easier. OSPI’s web-based Tribal sovereignty curriculum (www.indian-ed.org) is: Linked to locally-based tribal information Accurate and reliable so you can feel confident about what you are teaching Endorsed by OSPI and Washington’s federally recognized Tribes Easy to access so you don’t have to wait for materials—they are just a click away Easy to integrate within your existing units so you don’t have to feel like you have to throw out your own lessons to “make room” for these materials Aligned to the state’s Social Studies standards, classroom-based assessments, and the Common Core Standards in English and language arts Free RCW 28A.320.170 officially encourages the inclusion of Tribal history in all common schools. RCW 28A.345.070 encourages school boards to identify and adopt curriculum that includes tribal experiences and perspectives so Indian students are more engaged and learn more successfully, and so that all students learn about the history, culture, government, and experiences of their Indian peers and neighbors. RCW 28A.230-090 mandates that any course in Washington State history and government shall consider including information on the culture, history and government of the American Indian peoples who were the first inhabitants of the state. The Tribal Sovereignty Curriculum is an on-line curriculum has a menu of Tribal sovereignty information, short lessons, and entire units for U.S. History, Washington State History, and Contemporary World Problems units that OSPI recommends.
