Case Studies
We’re proud to share the insights, evaluation findings, and learning generated through this partnership effort.
The resources in this Insights and Impacts section represent the completed work of the Bristol Bay Teaching & Learning Collaborative from 2022–2025. As new opportunities or related programs emerge, we will update this page to reflect the latest developments.
Rooted in the voices, knowledge, and aspirations of Bristol Bay communities, BBTLC has cultivated meaningful connections between educators, students, Elders, communities, and partners.
This evaluation highlights how culturally grounded learning, local pathways into education careers, and strong cross-organizational partnerships are strengthening the future education in the region through:
Evidence of progress for teacher retention.
Integration of place-based learning in classrooms.
Deep engagement with culture camps.
We invite you to explore the findings and stories that reflect the heart of this work. While the grant period spanned three years, the Collaborative’s success was built on decades of relationship and scholarship, both of which we plan to carry into the future.
Explore evidence of what’s working. Learn how the C3: Cross-Cultural Competence (C3) program is addressing Alaska’s teacher retention challenges through culturally grounded preparation and support.
This case study outlines how the program strengthened retention for participants, instruction for Alaska Native students, and community relationships, while building the support networks that educators need to thrive. Evaluation findings demonstrate why now is the moment to sustain and expand this impact.
