Good news, everyone! The long-awaited asynchronous Government-to-Government training is here. Need some background? Here's an excerpt from a previous blog post.
As you may know, there are new administrator certificate renewal requirements as of July 1, 2023. One of the new requirements is to have five clock hours of Government-to-Government training. Administrators also need to complete 10 clock hours related to leadership standards and 10 equity-related clock hours before renewing their certificates.
This training has been developed and is being implemented by OSPI's Office of Native Education (ONE). Initially, these trainings were only being done in person or in a live-virtual platform. Many school leaders across the state have let us know that they have been unable to attend these sessions, or have been placed on a waiting list as these sessions have filled up very quickly. We have been continually advocating for additional trainings and an asynchronous option for busy school leaders.
And from OSPI's March 5th, 2024 Office of Native Education Newsflash:
The video-based modules for the Administrators Government-to-Government Relationships Training are now available! This fulfills the new state requirement mandate enacted by HB 1426 requiring all renewing administrator certificates on or after July 1, 2023 to complete a five-hour Government-to-Government Relationships Training.

Directions and links to enroll in the Canvas course are on the Event Page. Registrants must take the course in WAESD’s Canvas Account. If you do not have one, you must create a STUDENT account and enter the course code when you sign up. Again, links and codes are on the pdEnroller Event Page. You will then enter the course code to be registered and taken to the Course listing in WAESD’s Canvas.
There are five individual video module assignments with embedded quizzes. All five need to be completed. If you received module credit(s) from a previous training, please contact the facilitator, Maxine Alex, to receive that credit(s). Suggested completion time is April 26, 2024, to allow 10 weeks for the recertification process by the June 30, 2024, deadline.
For questions regarding this course and clock hours, contact Maxine Alex.
