With regard to veteran Cradleboard classes who qualify for Partnering, what s expected of the Native American partner class?
• A letter from your Principal is required to be sure you have administrative support. • The Native American schools participate without charge, in contrast to non-Indian schools. In lieu of their fee, Native American classes are expected to deliver a unit of tribal specific curriculum back to us, to be shared with other educators and students. Tribe specific materials must be copyrighted by the authors before being presented to Cradleboard. • Native schools are also expected to participate in all our activities to build self esteem and self identity; evaluation tasks to help us know how students are doing; and to participate in a total of eight hours of online interaction with other classes throughout the year.
