The University of Wyoming is now offering a graduate certification program to prepare teachers working with Native American students, the Casper Star-Tribune reported this week.
The five-course program, which started as a pilot earlier this year, is being taught by professors Tim Rush and Angela Jaime. Open to all teachers, it teaches educators how to include Native American culture and history in their curriculums. It was developed with input from tribal leaders and educators.
"These courses really open up eyes on how to teach Native American students," Marty Conrad, a teacher who completed the pilot course, told the Star-Tribune. "There are some differences. Some people don't know that."
