Room: Prairie A
Description
Resiliency, self-value, and strength of character - these are foundational components of the Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) classroom competencies. They are also the core concepts of the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings (OSEU). Two years ago the Department of Education partnered with JAG teachers and OSEU experts to create a guide on how to infuse the concepts of the OSEUs seamlessly into JAG classrooms across the state. Come to learn about how this project evolved. Take away how JAG might fit into your school setting to improve outcomes for your entire student body, Native and non-Native.
