This is Minnesota Native News. I'm Marie Rock. This week…A new program at Saint Cloud State University aims to put more Indigenous teachers in front of Minnesota students. Emma Needham has more on two scholarship programs for Native teachers plus
a new curriculum plan to help teach Native issues to students throughout Minnesota.
Minnesota’s students are much more diverse than their teachers. According to the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board, 34 percent of students in Minnesota identify as students of color or Native American while only five percent of their teachers identify the same way. Saint Cloud State University professor Darlene St. Claire is working to change that.
