ISLA Delivers the Missing Link in American Indian Education – Strength-Based Culturally Responsive Instructional Programming

ISLA works on and off reservations and in urban settings with teachers and staff in schools and school districts serving American Indian and Alaska Native children, and with the tribal educational offices supporting that education.

Using ISLA’s Seven Instructional Hoops©, we help those educators rediscover traditional ways of teaching and learning in the home and the family, from elders, within the community, and in the tribe.

The result is student engagement, self-confidence, achievement, and mastery.
