Widening the Circle by Beverly J Klug
Recognizing the need for a pedagogy that better serves American Indian students, Beverly J. Klug and Patricia T. Whitfield construct a pedagogical model that blends native and non-native worldviews and methods. Among the building blocks of this new, culturally relevant education are language-based approaches to literacy development, the use of oral histories to supplement traditional texts, and a re-evaluation of the knowledge base these students need for success in tribal enterprises."Reconizing the need for pedagogy tht better serves American Indian students, Klug and Whitfield construct a model that blends Native and non-Native worldviews and methodologiesAmong the building blocks of this new, culturally relevant education are language-based approaches to literacy development, the use of oral histories to supplement tarditional texts, and a re-evaluation of the knowledge base Indian Students need for succcess." -- Winds of Change
