![]() ALRD has identified a need for services to sustain their program efforts with the overall purpose of assistance in defraying costs associated with training ALRD staff and supporting the programing and services offered by ALRD. Additionally, the project will support three professional-development opportunities per project year for four ALRD staff members. Pursuant to Goal #1, ALRD will host bi-monthly meal-prep language courses as well as annual language workshops. ALRD will record them as they speak the language for use in future classes, allowing speakers to become an additional resource of language learning for the Tribe. Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe ALRD will contract with five guest Anishinaabemowin language speakers per project year, who will present demonstrations for children at the Sasiwaans Immersion School. The project will support 120 students over the course of the three-year grant period. Grantee: Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of MichiganĪbstract: The project has two primary goals: 1) the Anishinaabe Language Revitalization Department (ALRD) will increase access to Anishinaabemowin language-learning opportunities by 50% for all Sasiwaans Immersion School children and their families as well as for SCIT at-large and 2) professional development opportunities for program staff will increase by 50%. This program will serve an estimated 120 participating Native American and Alaska Native students over the course of the three-year project. Outcomes: The project will provide Kiowa language classes at: 1) Anadarko High School (students in grades 9 through 12 with a minimum of 20 students taught per school year) for three years and 2) Carnegie High School (students in grades 9 through 12 with a minimum of 20 students taught per school year) for three years. The Tribe will forge collaborative partnerships with two local public-school districts to teach the Kiowa language at the high school level at two school sites and identify future Kiowa Language Teacher Candidates. The district’s expected outcome is to enable students to complete three sections each of Comanche I and Kiowa I (Novice level) and two sections each of Comanche II and Kiowa II (Intermediate level) by the end of the grant.Ībstract: The mission of the Kiowa Tribe’s Kiowa Language Program (KLP) is “to protect and perpetuate the Kiowa language for future generations.” For the past six years, the Kiowa Tribe has built capacity for Kiowa language revitalization, working towards Kiowa-language instruction for kindergarten through grade 12 students. ![]() The second year of Comanche and Kiowa instruction would follow the same general timeframe expectations with an Intermediate Low to High trajectory replacing the first-year Novice Low to High expectations. To guide instruction and assessment, we will use American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) assessed proficiency levels with the targets for instruction with Novice Low student proficiency attained in August 2022 Novice Mid proficiency expected by December 2022 and students approaching the Novice High proficiency level in May 2023 at the end of the first year of instruction. The district’s assessments have been developed by language resource specialists who are recognized and employed by the tribes to develop and/or revitalize language and culture. In addition, the instructors perform ongoing assessments of progress made throughout the courses. The district will administer pre-and post-instruction assessments to measure growth in Native American language proficiency. ![]() These courses would support ongoing efforts of the tribes to revitalize their language and culture in the region. This project aligns with the grant guidance as the first priority in developing a new language program in schools. Abstract: Lawton Public Schools project is designed to implement courses in the Comanche and Kiowa Languages for 594 Comanche and 145 Kiowa students. ![]()
