We are inviting K-12 educators, pre-service students, school administrators, and parents to learn about what is available for you and your students in New Mexico.
This event will feature engaging sessions throughout the day on the Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum, opportunities to connect with community organizations focused on education, and valuable resources for educators to integrate into their classrooms.
