These sessions will be offered on Wednesdays, weekly, beginning September 6 through December 27 from 7:00pm-8:30pm, with an additional 30 minutes added on when an Immersion Session is planned. The agenda and syllabus are provided upon request. These sessions will support those who are interested in becoming Level 1 Credentialed Kiowa Language Teachers as well as currently credentialed Level 1 and Level 2 Credentialed Kiowa Language Teachers interested in growing their Kiowa language skills. Breakout rooms in Zoom will be used to support individual areas of the credentialing process. Updates from the Kiowa Language Credentialing Board members will be shared when available. 
LearnKiowa.org is a community-based, grassroots website launched by the Post Family and led by Dr. Redbird-Post with the goal of providing Kiowa language learners, interested Kiowa parents, and teachers of Kiowa children and students of all ages with an online archive of Kiowa language teaching and learning materials arranged by age group. Made possible by the First Nations Development Institute and the 2022 Luce Indigenous Knowledge Fellowship.
