"The instructors are very accommodating and make extra efforts to listen to us and get to know us on a personal level. Native American culture is incorporated into every aspect of our studies. It is a rich way of learning that encourages me to be a quality educator."

"I enjoy the diverse perspectives on K-12 education that are discussed in our cohort."

"Culture is an important part of our children's education as it develops their identity."

"The aspect of the Tribal Cohort Program that I have enjoyed the most is being able to learn from one another as well as from the professors. It is helpful to have the online classes to work around full time jobs and distance learning."
Govinda Budrow - Brainerd, MN
"I have enjoyed getting to know the other students in the cohort. We are like a big family that works together and learns together."
John Villebrun - Nett Lake, MN
"Although I thrive in face-to-face learning settings, I have found that the online discussions can be deeper and more profound in some ways because you have time to think about what you will write. It's also convenient to post homework from your home."
