Primer on American Indian Dual Citizenship for Grades 9-12
A Primer on American Indian Dual Citizenship for Grades 9-12 This session will be structured as a seminar regarding the history of American Indians becoming United States citizens. American Indians are also tribal citizens, thus Indians are dual citizens.

This session covers one district's grant-winning staff development summer program for teachers, students, and student teachers. The academy utilizes a lab model with curriculum, lesson planning, and pedagogical skills development. The students receive quality lessons and provide feedback to staff members regarding their lessons. The program uses observation, planning, reflection, and application in the staff development.
