The Clearinghouse on Native Teaching and Learning mission is to identify effective curriculum resources, create high-quality professional development materials and disseminate useful information and products to improve preK-12 teaching and learning for American Indians and Alaska Natives. To accomplish this mission, we:

  • Acquire and catalog curriculum resources using Native language and culture,
  • Provide the best selection of Native related education resources on the Internet,
  • Support pre-service and certified teachers' professional development,
  • Collaborate with organizations across the nation,
  • Produce scholarship on Indian education related issues.

Clearinghouse services

The Clearinghouse provides a variety of services and expertise pertaining to Indian education issues to stimulate student and faculty interest. We assist in 

  • Literature searches for class assignments, research projects, or professional development
  • Developing Native-based curriculum
  • Compiling archive materials in either print or electronic form
  • Networking schools and organizations serving Native students
  • Identifying exemplary resources: curriculum, books, articles, and classroom materials
