Online – From Page to Practice: The Native American Lives Series in the Classroom

Join us for an introductory professional development session on the Native American Lives Series—a vibrant new collection of biographies designed to support grades 1–8 educators in bringing Indigenous voices, histories, and perspectives into the classroom. This session will introduce the first four books in the series, each centering the life and legacy of a Native changemaker. Developed with Native authors, illustrators, and editors, these books provide culturally grounded content that supports both literacy development and inclusive social studies instruction.

Educators will have the opportunity to:

• Engage with Minnesota Department of Education content specialists integrating indigenous content with current academic standards
• Learn about classroom ready resources and educator guides
• Hear from series co-editor Heid E. Erdrich and highlights about the series

K-8 Educators will receive 1 clock hour.
