Pequot Neepun Teacher Institute

Description

The Pequot Neepun Teachers Institute is a week-long residential professional

development opportunity for K-12 school teachers from across the country designed to

deepen historical knowledge and encourage more accurate and representative teaching

of Indigenous cultural life ways and history.

This initiative is a collaborative partnership of the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and the

MPTN Education Department and reflects the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s

dedication to empowering educators and inspiring future generations to engage with

Indigenous culture history in meaningful and transformative ways.
