Who Are We?

Navajo Nation school districts are participating in the Yale National Initiative to strengthen teaching in public schools®. We are currently building capacity for the creation of a Teachers Institute for ­the Navajo Nation.

This Web site includes information for teachers, faculty, and administrators interested in learning more about our local efforts and the Teachers Institute Approach.
