OSPI Updates and Information
John McCoy (lulilaš) Since Time Immemorial (JMLSTI) Training and Curriculum
JMLSTI Grants
With the passage of House Bill 1879 in 2024, Since Time Immemorial has been renamed the John McCoy (lulilaš) Since Time Immemorial (JMLSTI) curriculum. During this reporting period, ONE conducted JMLSTI trainings through conference workshops and district/school coordinated staff trainings reaching over 4,000 participants. As JMLSTI is a place-based curriculum, tribal education and/or culture specialists engaged in the planning and teaching of these training courses. Fifteen of our Tribal partners collaborated on joint JMLSTI trainings. Districts are developing systemic district-wide plans, in collaboration with tribal partners, to implement the curriculum.
The Office of Native Education also continues to collaborate with tribal education representatives with the implementation of integrating JMLSTI into all teacher preparation programs. Administrative preparation programs are also integrating JMLSTI into their courses.
We are excited to announce that a new Traditional Ecological Knowledge unit and lesson plans have been developed and will be populating the OSPI website soon. This unit will highlight our TEK partners and the utilization of a seasonal calendar that is front facing for educators to access and implement.
