We hope you will join us for this interactive teleseminar. Lori Lambert will provide a deeper understanding of Native Ways of Knowing and her work with Native and Indigenous students.

You will discover ways you can embed these engaging strategies and approaches in your team based learning courses.
You will have an opportunity to send in questions and comments. You can join us at your desk, in your car, or from home or other locations...all from your phone. No internet connection is necessary.

Please share this announcement with faculty or staff who work with Native and/or Indigenous students or have an interest in culturally responsive teaching. We highly recommend this session for all who are seeking to promote success of Native or Indigenous students!
How can faculty and teachers ignite the fire that burns within every Native student? Our presenter, Dr. Lori Lambert is a master of instructional strategies designed to help motivate Native students and discover their passion for further
learning.
She is known as the “mother of online learning” at Salish Kootenai College in Montana, beginning her work with Native students online before many universities were aware of online learning. Her strategies were engaging and supportive and her students succeeded!
In the “safe” learning space she creates, she approaches each student “mind to mind’ and builds nurturing relationships with each. She uses Native Ways of
Knowing strategies to express content. This involves including Indigenous content in courses where students explore their own tribal history. She encourages her
students to apply what they have learned in the formal learning environment to their own lives and professions
Join us in this upcoming April 20th teleseminar to talk with other faculty and Lori about learning strategies that facilitate Native students to:
Increase their capacity to contribute to the Native community
Use their own ways of learning to develop self-reliance and self-determination
Develop higher levels of understanding
Develop knowledge about themselves.
Facilitated by:
Michael Fire, PhD and Nancy Fire, EdD
Founders of Fire and Associates.
Michael is an Elder of the Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He is on Faculty at North Central Texas College
Nancy works in Faculty Development at the University of North Texas
