Connecting with meaning and purpose is key to engaging and motivating students. Standard career development models often skip this critical step. Learn how Bristol Bay Region Career & Technical Education, Sitka Tribe of Alaska, and others have been incorporating traditional ecological knowledge and cultural values into courses and guidance work to help students envision and work toward a future that is connected to their community and meaningful to them. This interactive workshop will give you frameworks, tools, inspiration, and a community of support to help you incorporate Indigenous wisdom into your courses while helping students prepare for their future.
