Teacher Resources

Welcome to the Green Bay Title VI Teacher Resource page! The links below will connect you with accurate, authentic information for teaching students about Wisconsin's First Nations histories, cultures, and sovereignty. 

Title VI has the resources and staff to perform full and half day First Nations education events at your elementary school.

We have staff ready and waiting to teach First Nations content in your middle and high school classes as well. For more information on these instructional engagements, please contact us directly.

Also, Title VI has created a curriculum tool specific to our current 4th grade Social Studies curriculum. Look for the "Hands on History" bin at each of Green Bay's elementary schools. The materials within the box integrate seamlessly with our current Social Studies texts are designed to provide the Act 31-specific education we are required to provide our students.
