Fiona Hopper, Social Studies Teacher Leader and Wabanaki Studies Coordinator for the Portland Public Schools, and Brooke Teller, Science Teacher Leader and STEM coordinator for the Portland Public Schools, will talk about a unit they designed in collaboration with teachers and Indigenous advisors to the Wabanaki Studies curriculum being developed in the Portland Public School.
