2nd Annual American Indian Teacher Education Conference
College of Education, Northern Arizona University
Flagstaff, Arizona, June 11-12, 2010

Northern Arizona University's College of Education is pleased to announce an American Indian Education Conference to allow community, preschool, K-12, college, and university indigenous educators and activists through panels, workshops, and papers to share ideas for improving American Indian education with a focus on the type of preparation Indian Nations want for teachers in their schools. Drs. Joseph Martin and Jon Reyhner, who have been long involved in working to improve Indian education, are co-chairing the conference. Northern Arizona University’s College of Education has worked with Indian Nations to improve the education of American Indian students for decades. It has hosted a variety of American Indian teacher and administrative preparation programs, including the well received Learn In Beauty program. We invite you to come participate in this effort to improve the education of our children.

Goals of the Conference

• To bring together educators, administrators, board members, tribal officials, and parents to share ideas and experiences on how to better prepare teachers of American Indian students

• To examine teacher education programs in order to determine how they can better prepare teachers of American Indian students.

• To provide a forum for exchange of scholarly research on teaching American Indian students.

• To disseminate through a monograph and an American Indian Education web site recent research and thinking on American Indian education best practices.
