This course will explore the history of American Indian education from precontact through the present, including why and how Montana’s unique and forward thinking IEFA mandate came to be. The course will also explore resources, content, and pedagogy for meaningful implementation of IEFA, both at the macro level through curriculum planning and at the micro level through lesson planning. Finally, participants will examine and reflect upon their own knowledge, experiences, perceptions, and beliefs as they relate to IEFA in order to guide and advance their practice into the future.
