Native American Tribal Curriculum Available Fall 2010

When I read this Seattle Times article, "Washington educators, leaders aim for progress with new tribal curriculum," there were quite a few parallels that came through my mind in working with teachers in our D.O.E. who also have limited access to culture-based resources for their classrooms. Hopefully, our collaborative efforts working with D.O.E. Hawai'i Virtual Learning Network (HVLN) will set up a pathway for KS to increase access to culture-based online courses for all state of Hawai'i students. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out in Washington with their efforts on trying to increase teachers integrating the tribal curriculum, which will be available online, through development of six training centers. Thoughts after reading this article?
