Enduring Legacies Native Cases Summer Institute
The Evergreen State College
Thursday-Friday June 25-26, 2015 at Little Creek Resort Hotel
Squaxin Island Tribe
The Summer Institute of the Enduring Legacies Native Cases Initiative will build on ten years of work developing teaching interdisciplinary case studies on significant issues in Indian Country and offering workshops for educators to network and learn how to use the cases in their classes. Our interdisciplinary collection of cases covers a wide range of topics applicable to all academic fields. Problem-based learning, place-based learning and collaborative learning are the cornerstones of our approach. Cases promote student engagement and critical thinking in the context of complex and pressing real world issues. They are a terrific way of promoting diversity. At this institute, we will practice working through cases collaboratively to learn how to facilitate case analysis and discussion.
Summer institute particulars: The summer institute will run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. Breakfast is at 8 a. m. with the program starting at 9 a.m. Pre-reading and homework are required each evening. Campuses are invited to bring teams or attend the institute as individuals.
