Teacher in the Yellow House – A workshop designed for especially for teachers

In this session, Luella will recount her time living and teaching on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana and the lessons she learned from the experience.

The session is designed to help teachers deal with the day to day ups and downs of being in the profession.
