Project Vision

The Summit is intended to kick off continuing efforts to revitalize and strengthen the teaching and learning of Alaska Studies. The long-term vision is:

All Alaska students have positive experiences in their required Alaska Studies high school classes, learn an inclusive history of our state, and consider how this history shapes where we are today.

All Alaska Studies teachers have the tools and resources to make the curriculum relevant to their students and to teach about difficult and complex topics such as colonization.

Summit Objectives

• Participants will feel more connected to each other through a shared investment in improving the Alaska Studies course and participating in the Alaska Studies Network created at the Summit

• Participants will share resources and information with each other (to be compiled on new Alaska Studies Resources webpage hosted by AKHF)

Teachers will learn innovative approaches to connect with community members and bring them into their Alaska Studies classrooms.
