About Michael Little-Crow

At the intersection of traditional knowledge and contemporary pedagogy, my role as President of O.P.E.N. Global Village is devoted to harmonizing Indigenous wisdom with academic instruction. My efforts concentrate on enhancing learning experiences, particularly in mathematics, science, and language. This mission is propelled by my substantial experience in educational leadership, coupled with a proficiency in problem-solving that I continuously hone.Within Arizona State University, my classroom is a testament to inclusivity and academic excellence, where every lesson plan is an opportunity for growth—for both my students and myself. It is here that I collaborate with initiatives such as TRIO for Disabilities and American Indian Student Support Services, ensuring that our collective educational practices reflect a deep respect for diverse cultures and contribute meaningfully to student success.
