- Summary:
-
This book helps teachers of Native American students to facilitate learning in school through awareness of cultural and values differences between Native Americans and the mainstream culture. Most of the specific cultural information presented comes from the Navajo and Hopi Reservations in northeastern Arizona, but the associated ideas, methodologies, and activities may be used as guidelines by teachers elsewhere to develop their own strategies. Chapters cover: (1) the discouraging history and current status of Native American education; (2) traditional Native views on the acquisition and value of knowledge; (3) comparison of school and Native American values; (4) high risk of failure and dropping out among Native American students; (5) culture conflict in schools; (6) approaching cultural differences as strengths rather than deficiencies, and adapting curriculum and practices accordingly; (7) learning style differences; (8) holistic learning; (9) motivation and discipline; (10) comparison of behavioral and holistic approaches to education; (11) developing and using a school philosophy; (12) curriculum development; (13) assessment problems; (14) teaching style and the teacher's role; (15) parent and community involvement; and (16) ideas to increase instructional effectiveness. Contains 152 references. (SV)
