Provide technology for Ojibwemowin Teachers to utilize language apps and programs in the classroom and during community gatherings. White Earth will establish virtual weekly community Language Tables. White Earth will establish virtual weekly Teacher language tables, closed to the public.
Outcomes: 1. White Earth will develop an app that will assist in Early Childhood Ojibwe Language Development. 2. White Earth will own the rights to the created Early Childhood Ojibwemowin Language app and will have the ability to continue adding content in future years. 3. White Earth's Early Childhood Ojibwemowin Language Development Committee will create a pathway for language development in the early childhood education programs. This will enable programs to streamline language learning from birth/pre-k to grades K-12 and beyond. 4. Providing an Ojibwe Language Consultant to work within our Early Childhood programs will assist in developing a stronger language program and a scope and sequence of early language learning. This will help us to develop a language learning pathway from birth to beyond grade 12.
