NIARI Curriculum Project. Introduction As a Public Service Center of the Evergreen State College, the Northwest Indian Applied Research Institute, the Evergreen Center for Educational Improvement, and OSPI's Office of Indian Education presents our work into the research and development of culturally-responsive and culturally-appropriate curriculum representing Northwest Native American tribes for use in Washington state secondary public schools.
The curriculum was developed by Cheree Potts, an MIT graduate and a Research Associate at NIARI. You may contact her directly with comments or questions. We believe that most information about Native Americans in the public school system in this state is not accurate, fair, or equitable. "Negative stereotypes coupled with inadequate and inaccurate information about this Nation's Indigenous peoples, particularly in social studies curricula, damages the self-concepts and subsequent behavior of our youth.
" High School Religion Curriculum. Religious Education is meant to provide a developmentally appropriate, comprehensive, and systematic presentation of Catholic beliefs so that students will grow in their personal relationship with God, be knowledgeable about their Catholic faith, and integrate these beliefs and traditions into their personal lives.
The United States Bishops have determined that there should be a core curriculum for Catholic high schools and high school parish schools of religion throughout the United States. To help achieve this end the Bishops have produced a document entitled: Doctrinal Elements of a Curriculum Framework for the Development of Catechetical Materials for Young People of High School Age. To assist high school religion teachers and catechists, the Archdiocese of Saint Louis has developed a Companion document to accompany the Curriculum Framework. The following are the six core curriculum courses and the five elective courses which are developed in the USCCB Curriculum Framework.
Online Public School, Online High School, Online Private School, Homeschooling, and Online Courses options.
