Indigenous and Latinx Delaware

Delaware K-12 teachers and EL/ELL specialists are invited to join us for a series of seven monthly Saturday workshops, beginning on November 5, to learn about Indigenous American history and culture, as well as the emergence of Hispanic history and culture from the arrival of Columbus to 1910.

Social Studies and EL/ELL specialists are partnering with nationally known historians to help you incorporate high quality, culturally relevant materials from the Library of Congress and other sources into your K-12 EL/ELL curriculum in order to address the Delaware Content Standards in more meaningful ways for your students. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with organizations representing the Hispanic and American Indian communities throughout Delaware.

Participating teachers will receive a $1000 stipend for attending all sessions and successfully completing a final project.
