In addition, NMAI have launched four new online educational inquiries. To develop these classroom-ready resources, museum scholars worled in collaboration with Native communities, education professionals, university scholars, and teachers. These materials take advantage of what is possible with online education. They feature primary and secondary sources, Native perspectives, images, objects from the museum’s collection, media, and digital interactivity. The content is accompanied by lesson plans for teachers and skills-based assessments for students. In addition, all of the NK360° materials are carefully aligned to Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and with the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards.
