MORE INFO

Effective July 24, 2015, with the passage of Senate Bill 5433, school districts are required to incorporate lessons about the history, culture and government of the nearest federally recognized Indian Tribe(s) when the district reviews or adopts its social studies curriculum (RCW 28A.320.170).
School districts shall collaborate with OSPI on curricular areas regarding tribal government and history that are statewide in nature such as the concept of tribal sovereignty and the history of federal policy towards federally recognized Indian Tribes. School districts shall meet these
requirements by using the “Since Time Immemorial” Tribal Sovereignty online curriculum and may modify this curriculum in order to incorporate elements that have a regionally specific focus or to incorporate the curriculum into existing curricular materials.

This introductory in-person STI training workshop will encompass:

• An overview of the STI curriculum including some history and legislation

• A guided navigation through the website: https://ospi.k12.wa.us/student-success/resources-
  subject-area/time-immemorial-tribal-sovereignty-washington-state

• An introduction to the Native Knowledge 360 curriculum developed by the National Museum of
  the American Indian and other pertinent materials

• An opportunity to plan for integration and implementation of the STI lessons into your
  classrooms

STI is the first state endorsed curriculum to be aligned with Common Core Standards, it is easy to
implement because all lesson plans and materials are available on the website, and it is completely
free. The integration of tribal history and sovereignty into social studies lessons has never been
easier.
This is the initial training in our Fall 2023 STI training schedule. Additional trainings both in-person
and via Zoom are being scheduled and a complete roster will be available soon. There is no fee to
attend our trainings and free clock hours and lunch are provided. We are asking participants
to arrive around 8:00 a.m. to check in and get settled then we will begin at 8:30 a.m. and go no
later than 4 p.m. Registration is required for the October 12 training using the attached
form (one form per person please) which helps us plan for room set up, our lunch count, and
handout materials.
Wireless internet access will be available and you are requested to bring:
(1) A laptop with wireless internet capability
(2) Head phones which are helpful when viewing videos for lesson planning
