On November 5th and 7th, the Education Department and the Native American Teacher Retention Grant (NATRI) provided a professional development workshop on the history of and issues in Native Education to teachers from various Cape school districts through the Cape Collaborative at Dennis-Yarmouth High School.

On November 7th, a college fair hosting Syracuse University, UMass Dartmouth, and Tufts University was held in the Govt. Center lobby (see photo) for students interested in studying to become teachers. The NATRI grant supports Native students enrolled in teacher education programs as well as Native teachers currently working in the field with stipends and professional development.
