The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) has launched Native Knowledge 360° (NK360°), a national education initiative to promote improved teaching and learning about American Indians. In order to complete our mission, NMAI is looking for dynamic educators for the Teacher-in-Residence (TIR) Program.
One resident teacher will be selected this summer for a paid residency to work with the Manager of National Education and other NK360° staff. Together, they will develop inquiries using the Inquiry Design Model (IDM).The TIR will join us in Washington, DC, for eight weeks between the months of June and August. All applications are due by March 30, 2018.
