<h2 style="margin-top: 1em; font-size: 16px;">Native Language
Teachers No Longer Need Certification </h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">A new law allows high schools to hire
tribal elders to teach Native Americans languages, even if they are
not certified teachers. Michigan already allows students to learn
tribal languages to satisfy the state's high school graduation
requirements, but many schools do not have instructors certified to
teach Native languages. <br><br>The Hannahville Potawatomi Indian
Community in the Upper Peninsula led the push to allow its elders to
teach the Potawatomi language in schools. <br><br>The bill signed
into law allows experts in a Native American language to teach
without teacher certification. That means kids can get credits in
Native American languages to fulfill the state's language credit
requirement. </p></td></tr>
