SHI's EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Recruit future Alaska Native educators: The Indigenous Future Educator (IFE) program will provide high school students and students enrolled in lower division college courses experiences designed to motivate the desire to become a teacher. These activities include working with youth and Alaska Native educators to develop personal connections.

Prepare Alaska Native educators: Through a partnership with Alaska Pacific University, University of Alaska Anchorage, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and University of Alaska Southeast, SHI provides scholarships and dedicated staff for direct student support. IEA also works with university faculty with professional training in developing Indigenous and culturally based curriculum.

Retain and uplift current Alaska Native educators: IEA supports Native educators through its professional development network and interaction with a community of educators. The creation of Indigenous Educator Awards series and media campaign will elevate and bring recognition to the education profession.
