Annette Island School District is honored to announce that Native Art Teacher John Hudson III received a Distinguished Educator Award from the Our Cultural Landscape Culturally Responsive Education Conference offered by Sealaska Heritage Institute at UAS Juneau! This year's conference theme was Connecting Culture, Community, and Curriculum. This event provides educators and administrators with a deep understanding of culturally responsive education and equips them to transform their classrooms, pedagogy, and curriculum to fully support all students’ success. The Distinguished Educator Award recognizes an educator’s intentional weaving of ways of knowing throughout lessons and classrooms that reflect our students, through place- based and culturally relevant beliefs and practices, while reinforcing our students’ capabilities of achievement. We are immensely proud of John's incredible contributions to our school district, community, and the world, and are so thankful to have him on our staff. Congratulations! #aisd #aisdproud #metlakatla #alaska #sealaska #staffappreciation #wayiwah
