Day 2, Session 1 - Live Discussion: Bringing Context to World Events

Relive our live, online OER Conference for Social Studies held August 3-4, 2022.

We're bringing thousands of teachers from across America together to hear from academics, historians, public thinkers and most importantly, other teachers. Head into the new school year inspired and armed with practical ideas for improving your teaching practice.

Led by two of the preeminent leaders in Native education in the US, this session will look at how contemporary Native education grapples with current events and the pressures on teachers to steer away from culturally relevant topics in the classroom. How do we ensure that Tribal people are seen not just in the past, but in the present? What implications do these approaches have for culturally relevant teaching in general?

Joining Jerry for this discussion are Jerad Koepp, Native Student Program Specialist and Washington State Teacher of the year, along with Edwin Schupman, Manager, Native Knowledge 360 at National Museum of the American Indian.
