Salish School of Spokane seeks to be a supportive partner for other endangered Indigenous language communities and learners.

 We have had some successes, including the development of an effective fluency transfer system, the training of some new advanced fluent speakers, and the establishment of a successful n̓səl̓xčin̓ immersion school.

Periodically, we offer Immersion Symposiums. These symposiums are fundraisers for SSOS, and offer training for other Indigenous language learners and communities. Symposiums are offered both at SSOS in Spokane, and on-site with hosting communities. The topics of our Immersion Symposiums change depending upon the needs and interests of participants. The focus of previous Immersion Symposiums have included:

• How to develop and implement the SSOS Indigenous Language Fluency Transfer System (ILFTS)

• How to establish, administer, and fund an Indigenous immersion school meeting Head Start, ECEAP, and K-10 standards in an Indigenous immersion school setting

• Orthography and literacy theory and methodologies for Indigenous immersion schools

• Culture-based science programming and curriculum for Indigenous immersion schools

• Immersion math as a first focus of Indigenous language immersion instruction

• ILFTS curriculum building from archival language recordings and resources
