Episode 24: Native American Series 2 | Amplify Native Voices in the Classroom Online Course | Heather Francis and Stephanie West
Instructional Designers, Heather Francis & Stephanie West, discuss the release of a new online course for teachers titled "Amplify Native Voices in the Classroom". There are six modules spanning the topics of cultural identity, US tribal relations, the formation of Utah's reservations, guiding principles for culturally responsive teaching and choosing accurate and authentic sources for the classroom.
Supporting Teachers as they Amplify Native Voices
Amplify Native Voices in the Classroom is an asynchronous and interactive online course developed by the BYU ARTS Partnership. The course includes approximately 14 hours of instruction, two projects, and several discussion board activities. Teachers can earn 1 USBE credit for successful completion of the course. The course is open to all educators from Pre-K to High School.
By the end of the NACI PD course, teachers will be able to
- Honor and analyze their own culture and Native American cultures by creating an artistic artifact that explores culture and identity;
- Empathize with Native American Tribes in Utah by reflecting and synthesizing what they learned while exploring interactive timelines that represent the past and present context of each socially and politically distinct tribe
- Select accurate and authentic resources by practicing strategies for identifying culturally responsible resources
- Articulate their own principles/framework for culturally responsive teaching that elucidates the connections they have made between their own culture, their student’s cultures, their teaching practice, and the NACI model through a written reflection, artistic work, or video presentation.
Each course will be moderated by a facilitator from the BYU ARTS Partnership Leadership Team. You are given one year to complete the course.
The course is available for teachers publically beginning June 7th, 2022. You can register for the course on MIDAS for USBE or re-licensure credit or email artspartnership@byu.edu for more details.
