K-12 Curriculum Frameworks
The Indian Education Office provides a selection of high quality, culturally relevant curriculum frameworks in a variety of subject areas. These curricular frameworks are available to classroom teachers, parents and students and can help bring American Indian culture, values, traditions and history into the classroom. The frameworks provide lesson guidance for the intermediate, middle and high school levels.
The curriculum frameworks have not been aligned to the current Minnesota State Graduation Standards.
