FOR TEACHERS
Ways to Have an Elder in Your Classroom
Choose an experience that fits your classroom, schedule, and learning goals. Begin with a recorded story, connect with an elder virtually, or request an in-person classroom experience.
Videos
Every video in our library is created in partnership with elders and descendant community members who generously share their stories, traditions, and lived experiences. Each conversation is thoughtfully filmed and carefully edited to preserve the authenticity of every voice while creating meaningful learning opportunities for classrooms everywhere.
Virtual Visit
Bring real voices into your classroom through a live virtual conversation with an elder or descendant community member. Students can ask questions, engage in meaningful dialogue, and learn directly from people who share their stories, traditions, and lived experiences.
In-Person Visit
Create an unforgettable learning experience by welcoming an elder or descendant community member into your classroom. Through personal stories, cultural demonstrations, hands-on activities, and genuine conversation, students can connect with living history in a meaningful way.
