Based on years of original curriculum design by and about Indigenous peoples, grounded in anti-bias/anti-racist learning, and guided by the Common Core State Standards.
The NACA Inspired Schools Network (NISN) is a community of Indigenous schools and partners located throughout the nation. Since 2015, NISN commits to creating long-lasting impact through community design rooted in Indigenous genius. Culturally relevant education, continuous reflection, and improvement guide our work. The Network is comprised of a growing number of schools and partners collectively transforming communities with a three-year Fellowship opportunity, facilities and operations development for schools, a resource hub for curriculum development, youth empowerment and Indigenous Educators Corps programs. The NISN movement inspires Indigenous excellence.
