CULTURALLY RELEVANT TEACHING

Culturally Relevant Teaching

American Indian Education/indigenous education is still faltering today and is not producing significant differences in results where school practices follow those for the dominant culture. Inroads have been made in some classrooms/schools where Culturally Responsive/Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) is practiced. However, the drop-out rates for American Indian/indigenous populations are still extremely high in comparison to other ethnically diverse groups of students.

Editorial Reviews

"This well researched book both informs and inspires. The history of Native American education has been a sad one but the insights and proposed actions within this volume suggest a brighter future for not only indigenous students but also for a broader, more inclusive, and equitable curriculum for all learners. While scholarly, this book is friendly not only to educators at all levels, but also to parents, community members, and others committed to educational equity."

Culturally Relevant Teaching: Text

"It has been my privilege to have worked with Dr. Beverly Klug over the years in Indian Education.  I would like to recommend Culturally Relevant Teaching: Making Space for Indigenous Peoples in the Schoolhouse, as a resource for educators or others working with American Indian students. In 1983, A Nation At Risk, was published by the national Commission on Excellence in Education with the belief that all children can learn. That is still the belief today. Culturally Relevant Teaching: Making Space for Indigenous Peoples in the Schoolhouse is an outstanding resource for educators in understanding culture and its effects on the teaching and learning styles for American Indian Students. Education for our students is a means for helping to preserve and protect our traditions, language, and culture. Our goal is to help build strong individuals who can succeed in both worlds."
