Excerpt:

About 50 educators and school administrators met for a weeklong in-service Aug. 2 to 6 to set the groundwork for how Inupiaq education will be incorporated into North Slope Borough School District classrooms.

"Our elders have told us that we need to document their knowledge. But not just that, we need to find ways of imparting their knowledge through the schools," said Jana Harcharek, director of Inupiaq education with the district.

To help do that, the district brought up consultant Jay McTighe, who specializes in the field of curriculum mapping and alignment and co-authored several books on the topic.
