View Wabanaki Studies Planning Guide here. This guide is meant to help educators in the absence of an official state or district Wabanaki Studies curriculum, though it is not a curriculum in itself. There are links to curricular resources in the compendium section. In the absence of appropriate teacher preparation for Wabanaki Studies in teacher education programs, teaching Wabanaki Studies in the classroom presents many challenges. It is the responsibility of all educators to teach Wabanaki Studies, and it is also our responsibility to do it well. Please take the time to learn, reflect, and thoughtfully prepare.
