Bears Ears Archaeology Teacher Workshop

Learn first-hand how to help your students engage in inquiry-based learning through cross-curricular, student-centered lessons, place-based experiences, and meaningful interactions with Indigenous elders. The Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter curriculum is aligned to 3-5th grade state standards and helps educators expand and deepen social studies content for their students.  At this workshop participants will experience each lesson as a learner through modeled instruction, gain new perspectives from Indigenous presenters, analyze historic data related to authentic archaeological sites, discover new ways to engage students at museums and historic sites, and learn how to improve classroom citizenship and promote responsible use of public lands. The workshop will take place at the Canyon Country Discovery Center in Monticello, UT June 17-19, 2026. Lodging, 2 meals, books, and graduate university credits are included in the registration fee.
