New: Protect Children in Indian Country from Lead Exposure EPA recently released the Lead Awareness in Indian Country: Keeping our Children Healthy! curriculum. Lead is a TRI-covered chemical, and we're sharing this information as it may be of interest to our TRI email subscribers. The Curriculum, developed collaboratively with over 200 tribal representatives from approximately 80 different tribal governments and tribal organizations, provides practical on-the-ground, community-based resources to reduce childhood lead exposure. The Lead Awareness in Indian Country curriculum is a series of four modules which include lesson plans, worksheets, key messages, presentation slides, and kids' activity sheets that community leaders and other instructors can use to improve public awareness of the dangers associated with lead exposure and promote preventative actions. The design balances diverse community backgrounds, technical information and localized knowledge to allow instructors an opportunity to plan and deliver unique messages within each structured module. The format establishes a community-based platform where learning and teaching strategies come together to focus on meaningful community engagement. Join our tribal partners for an upcoming event to discuss how to use the Curriculum: - Tuesday, November 10, 2020, at 1:00pm ET: Virtual Roundtable Discussion - An interactive session with tribal partners to discuss their experiences and how they plan to use the Curriculum.
