The majority of American Indian students attend public schools in the United States. However, education mandated for American Indian students since the 1800s has been primarily education for assimilation, with the goal of eliminating American Indian cultures and languages. Indeed, extreme measures were taken to ensure Native students would “act white” as a result of their involvement with Western education. Today’s educational mandates continue a hegemonic “one-size-fits-all” approach to education. This is in spite of evidence that these approaches have rarely worked for Native students and have been extremely detrimental to Native communities.
This book provides information about the importance of teaching American Indian students by bridging home and schools, using students’ cultural capital as a springboard for academic success. Culturally Responsive Pedagogy is explored from its earliest beginnings following the 1928 Meriam Report. Successful education of Native students depends on all involved and respect for the voices of American Indians in calling for education that holds high expectations for native students and allows them to be grounded in their cultures and languages.
Industry Reviews
Standing Together: American Indian Education as Culturally Responsive Pedagogy is an excellent balanced collection that explores the continuing ineffectiveness of past and re-emerging assimilationist approaches to American Indian education in an era of standardization and accountability. Representing the works of many emerging and established scholars it is an important defense for culturally based education strategies that build upon the strengths of American Indian learners and their communities.
