Native Cultural Competency in Mainstream Schooling by Sharon Vegh Williams,Joni M. Cole Pdf

This book provides an in-depth analysis of Native American educational issues in the Northeast and highlights teacher training and instruction that address the experience and needs of the many Native students that attend reservation border town schools. Williams and Cole expand upon the results of a participatory action study that explored the barriers to success for Native American students in mainstream schooling during the process of creating and implementing a Native cultural competency teacher-training program for classroom teachers. They document the evolution of cross-cultural relationships and interactions in a diverse schooling context and aim to usher in concrete changes in school experiences and educational outcomes for Native American students by fostering non-Native teachers’ growth in cultural competency.

Teaching Aboriginal Cultural Competence by Barbara Hill,Jillene Harris,Ruth Bacchus Pdf

This book examines a collaborative partnership model between academia and Indigenous peoples, the goal of which is to integrate Indigenous perspectives into the curriculum. It demonstrates how the authentic and creative approaches employed have led to an evolution of curriculum and pedagogy that facilitates cultural competence among Australian graduate and undergraduate students. The book pursues an interdisciplinary approach based on highly practical examples, exemplars and methods that are currently being used to teach in this area. It focuses on facilitating student acquisition of knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills, following Charles Sturt University’s Cultural Competence Pedagogical Framework. Further, it provides insights into the use of reflective practice in this context, and practical ideas on embedding content and sharing practices, highlighting examples of potential “ways forward,” both nationally and globally.

Indigenous Social Work around the World by John Coates Pdf

How can mainstream Western social work learn from and in turn help advance indigenous practice? This volume brings together prominent international scholars involved in both Western and indigenous social work across the globe - including James Midgley, Linda Briskman, Alean Al-Krenawi and John R. Graham - to discuss some of the most significant global trends and issues relating to indigenous and cross-cultural social work. The contributors identify ways in which indigenization is shaping professional social work practice and education, and examine how social work can better address diversity in international exchanges and cross-cultural issues within and between countries. Key theoretical, methodological and service issues and challenges in the indigenization of social work are reviewed, including the way in which adaptation can lead to more effective practices within indigenous communities and emerging economies, and how adaptation can provide greater insight into cross-cultural understanding and practice.

Outsider Teacher-insider Knowledge by Sharon Williams Pdf

"This dissertation study provided mainstream teachers in a reservation border town community with experiences that moved them towards Mohawk cultural competency through participatory action research. This study is intended to further the efforts towards creating inclusive schools that more fully support Native students. Specifically, the research documents how a group of Native and non-Native educators envisioned and developed Mohawk cultural competency professional development. One aspect of the research was to study the interactions between Native and non-Native stakeholders in an effort to make the Mohawk community and mainstream schooling more understandable to one another. Similar to national statistics, Mohawk students in the Farmingdale Central School District scored lower on standardized measures of achievement and had a significantly higher drop-out rate when compared with their non-Native counterparts. Research suggests that teachers' lack of cultural knowledge and understanding may be a critical factor in Native students' academic underachievement. While challenges exist in creating effective professional development, well-developed programs have been shown to help establish more trusting relationships between schools and Native communities. However, university and school-based programs in cultural competency need to be expanded to meet student needs. This research project fills this gap in the research and field of education. In order to examine and address the cultural disconnect between the Mohawk community and this off-reservation school district, ethnographic, qualitative research methodologies including in-depth interviewing, participant observation, focus group, qualitative survey, and document analysis were utilized. The project culminated with the production of a professional development program intended for district implementation. This research study also developed a model for cultural competency professional development entitled the Developmental Trajectory of Understanding, with implications for other schools serving Native students"--Leaves iv-v.

Indian Education for All by John P. Hopkins Pdf

The aim of the book is to help teacher educators, school administrators, and policy-makers engage in productive and authentic conversations with tribal communities about what Indigenous education reform should entail"--

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy by Fatima Pirbhai-Illich,Shauneen Pete,Fran Martin Pdf

This book convincingly argues that effective culturally responsive pedagogies require teachers to firstly undertake a critical deconstruction of Self in relation to and with the Other; and secondly, to take into account how power affects the socio-political, cultural and historical contexts in which the education relation takes place. The contributing authors are from a range of diaspora, indigenous, and white mainstream communities, and are united in their desire to challenge the hegemony of Eurocentric education and to create new educational spaces that are more socially and environmentally just. In this venture, the ideal education process is seen to be inherently critical and intercultural, where mainstream and marginalized, colonized and colonizer, indigenous and settler communities work together to decolonize selves, teacher-student relationships, pedagogies, the curriculum and the education system itself. This book will be of great interest and relevance to policy-makers and researchers in the field of education; teacher educators; and pre- and in-service teachers.

Culture in Education and Education in Culture by Pernille Hviid,Mariann Märtsin Pdf

In a world where the global engagement and international dialogue intensifies, some areas of cultivated knowledge suffer from this dialogue and this has consequences for people and communities. We propose education to be such a case. The global dialogue in education tends to be restricted to and mediated by standardized measurements. Such standards are meant to measure qualities of education and of student behavior and create the sought for condition for normative comparability and competition. The obvious drawback is that cultural variability – in local living as well as in education – is rendered irrelevant. Are there alternatives? The book insists on maintaining the discussion about education on a global level, but rather than moving towards homogenization and standardization of education, the attention is drawn towards the potential for learning from creative fits - and misfits - between concrete local cultures, institutional practices and global aims and standards of education. This work brings together a group of educational and developmental researchers and scholars grappling to find culturally informed and sensitive modes of educating people and communities. Case studies and examples from four geographical contexts are being discussed: China, Brazil, Australia and Europe. While being embedded in these local cultures, the authors share a conceptual grounding in cultural developmental theorizing and a vision for a culturally informed globalized perspective on education. As the theme of the book is learning from each other, the volume also includes commentaries from leading scholars in the field of cultural psychology and education.
