After that is done they will begin working with reservation schools in southern South Dakota. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important to note that this grant is a partnership between UNMC, schools, tribal colleges and the Aberdeen Area Tribal Chairman&#8217;s Health Board,&#8221; Dr. Godfrey said. <\/p>\n<p>Teachers will have input in the development of health science education modules to insure that they are age-appropriate and adequate for classroom use, he said. <\/p>\n<p>They will learn how to best implement those modules during a summer workshop in 2006. To further engage the students the curriculum will adapt materials to provide cultural role models with input from tribal leaders. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Reaching beyond the classroom to parents and communities is critical to the success of this project,&#8221; Dr. Godfrey said. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through a five-year, $1.3 million Science Education
