Senate Bill 13: Tribal History/Shared History From Education Update, March 2018, Oregon Department of Education The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is proud to announce it has a taken an important step to develop a statewide curriculum relating to the Native Ameri- can experience in Oregon and contracted with Education Northwest to support statewide implementation of Senate Bill (SB) 13. SB 13 was passed in 2017 by the Ore- gon legislature and signed into law by Gov. Kate Brown. It will include Tribal history, sov- ereignty issues, cul- ture, treaty rights, government, socio- economic experi- ences and current events. Education North- west has two project leads who are experts in the field of Indian education to work with Tribal governments and educational orga- nizations on the curriculum. Denise Juneau (Mandan Hidatsa/ Blackfeet) is the former state superinten- dent of public instruction in Montana and principal of Blue Cloud Consulting. Dr. Shadiin Garcia (Laguna Pueblo and Chi- cana) has worked in the educational arena for more than 20 years as a teacher, public school administrator, researcher, policy ana- lyst and consultant and has extensive experi- ence working in the educational landscape across Oregon’s indigenous communities. ODE Indian Education Advisor April Campbell says the curriculum is a critical opportunity to fully leverage the strengths, assets and contributions these students bring to their communities. “American Indians lived in this great state long before it became Oregon,” Campbell said. “We are excited about this opportunity to teach youth about Oregon history that will now include the voice of Oregon’s American Indian peoples.” SB 13 provides that ODE shall ensure that Oregon’s fed- erally recognized Tribes are given the opportunity to collaborate in the development of the curriculum. A committee called the Essential Under- st anding Advisory Committee (EUAC) will create the “Essential Under- standings regarding Oregon Indi- ans” (EUs), which are conceptually based statements to use as a guiding light to design statewide curriculum and staff professional development. These EUs will convey the important understandings that go beyond discrete facts or skills and be the foundation for the creation of 45 lesson plans across several academic content areas. Once the EUAC has created the final draft of the Essential Understandings, they will be submitted to the Tribal governments for support and approval.

Funded orthodontic treatment screenings set for April/May 2018 The 2018 Funded Orthodontic Treat- ment Program is fast approaching! All interested parties should contact the dental department to be placed on a list. The screening dates are April 16-17 and May 16-17, 2018. The program and amount of accepted applicants will be dependent on the funding for that year. Applicants are selected by case severity, motivation of the patient and guardian, reliable transporta- tion, routine dental checkups and the oral hygiene history of the patient, to name a few. We want the best results possible for the patient and thus place emphasis on these items in order to achieve it. The unbiased selection process is performed under the guidance of an orthodontic specialist and participants are chosen through a committee. This is open to all ages who are CHS- eligible only. You must have a scheduled screening appoint- ment during one of the four screening days to be considered. Each year’s selection pro- cess is independent from previ- ous years and does not carry over. Selected and treated individuals can only be selected once for the duration of the program. All applicants will be noti- fied by mail if they have been chosen.
