Paid Professional Learning Opportunity

Like the image above, Indigenous peoples’ histories, experiences, and contributions are often absent in our historical and present-day narratives. This Professional Learning Opportunity (PLO) provides Rhode Island educators with selected resources that contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the essential and unique contributions of Native peoples. Participants will also have the opportunity to review, evaluate, and create lessons that foreground the experiences of Indigenous peoples.

This PLO is one-day and will be held from 9 am – 5 pm on Tuesday July 25th, 2023. The program is sponsored by the Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice at Brown University, Tomaquag Museum, and the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities. The PLO will be held at the Simmons Center (94 Waterman Street, Providence, RI).

Participants will receive a $100 honorarium, 8 Professional Learning Units (PLUs), and educational resources including the course texts. Breakfast and lunch are also provided.

Course Texts: The syllabus will be shared with participants in early July.

• Why You Can’t Teach United States History without American Indians.
• A Key into the Language of America: The Tomaquag Museum Edition.
