Celebrating Indigenous Family and Cultural Strengths & Promoting Health Equity

Celebrating Indigenous Family and Cultural Strengths & Promoting Health Equity
Wednesday, October 26, 2022, at 12 PM PT
American Indian and First Nations (hereafter Indigenous) communities are home to countless cultural, community, and family strengths. Yet, in the face of colonization and resulting health inequities, these strengths are often missed, uncelebrated, and/or misunderstood in health research. Innovation in the ways we engage with, celebrate, and assess Indigenous sources of strength is a critical step forward for equity-driven research. This presentation will share examples of Indigenous family strengths in the forms of benevolent childhood experiences, positive cultural identity, and other socio-cultural factors. Research from ongoing tribally-based participatory research studies reveal how these strengths are associated with positive health outcomes and thus represent important protective factors for promoting Indigenous wellbeing in holistic ways.
Melissa Walls, Ph.D., is an Anishinaabe social scientist working in collaboration with Indigenous communities in the United States and Canada on health equity research and culturally relevant public health programming. Dr. Walls an Associate Professor of American Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Director of the Great Lakes Hub of the Johns Hopkins University Center for American Indian Health.
Dr. Walls serves as the principal investigator with a longstanding research team that includes Anishinaabe community members and academic researchers working together to understand and address the social, historical, and contemporary determinants of unequal health outcomes.

You will come away from the session with insights that will help you support teachers in meaningful implementation of the many technology resources available for young children.
Join us to:

Envision technology approaches, specific tools, and a range of methodologies, which encourage powerful and meaningful uses of technologies in various contexts.
Learn to articulate (to teachers, parents, and others) reasons to use developmentally appropriate technology as a tool for teaching and learning with young learners.
Begin problem solving to navigate and obstacles to try new strategies in their programs.

You will leave the webinar with the beginning of a drafted plan to, considering their obstacles and outcomes.

The 12 Habits of Resilient Educators
Register Here
Unless you’ve worked in a school system or had your own classroom, it’s hard to describe what any one day can look or feel like. Each day is a million little decisions along with frequent stimulus and response, and educators can feel alone, exhausted, and ready to throw in the towel.
What are some of the attitudes and behaviors of resilient educators who successfully manage the unique stressors of this profession? Are there certain habits or practices that we can use to cultivate resilience? Within each of the 7 Mindsets, there are specific thought structures that we can focus on to develop and nurture resilience. Using research from 7 Mindsets as well as other contributors, this edWebinar will help to strengthen the reserves of educators who may be struggling with bouncing back, who may want to deepen their understanding of themselves and how they choose to respond to things, and who understand the importance of thriving, not just surviving, as educators.
This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-12 teachers, school and district leaders, librarians, school counselors, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
