Ganondagan’s Educators’ Day Brings Teachers Authentic Teaching of 
Haudenosaunee History and Culture. This day-long professional development program takes place on Tuesday, August 10, from 9-4 pm.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

If you're an elementary, middle, high school teacher, or homeschooling parent, take full advantage of the region’s history and culture from the direct perspective of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people at Ganondagan’s Educators’ Day.

From 9 am - 4 pm, teachers will actively engage in authentic teaching and learning experiences that can be brought into their classrooms through shared lesson plans and activities that serve to enrich New York State–mandated curriculum. Throughout the day, educators will gain a deeper and more integrated understanding of Haudenosaunee and United States history, culture, and contemporary life.

Educators will learn directly from Haudenosaunee knowledge keepers, educators, and interpreters through a variety of teaching modalities including presentations, open dialogue, hands-on activities, interpretive tours, and break-out sessions.

The event cost is $50, which includes admission to the Seneca Art & Culture Center and Bark Longhouse, plus coffee and beverages. Check in begins at 8:30 am; the Center’s exhibits and Bark Longhouse will be open until 4:30 pm. Attendees should bring a lunch—refrigeration will be available. A portion of the program will be outdoors, so Ganondagan recommends weather appropriate, comfortable clothes and walking shoes.

The event takes place at Ganondagan’s Seneca Art & Culture Center (7000 County Road 41, Victor, NY). For more information, including complete topics and registration, visit https://ganondagan.org/educator-day.
