Opis

The book challenges teachers, researchers, educational leaders, and community stakeholders to build dynamic learning environments through which indigenous learners can be "Boldly Indigenous in a Global World " Three days of focused dialogue at the 2005 World Indigenous Peoples Conference on Education (WIPCE) led to the charge to create Volume II of Indigenous Educational Models for Contemporary Practice: In Our Mother s Voice. Building on the first volume, Volume II examines these topics:

• Regenerating and transforming language and culture pedagogy that reminds us that what is "Contemporary is Native"
• Living indigenous leadership that engages and ensures the presence, readiness, and civic work of our next generation of leaders
• Indigenizing assessment and accountability that makes certain that native values and strengths lead this important work
• Highlighting the power of partnerships that begin with the child-elder, which is then nurtured in community and institutions to cross boundaries of cultural difference, physical geography, native and non-native institutions and communities

Indigenous Educational Models for Contemporary Practice: In Our Mother s Voice, Volume II honors the wisdom of our ancestors, highlights the diversity of our indigenous stories, and illuminates the passion of forward-looking scholars."
