Indigenous Teacher Education as Cultural Brokerage: A University/First Nations Partnership to Prepare Nishnawbe Aski Teachers
Kitchen, Julian; Hodson, John; Raynor, Marg
International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives, v12 n1 p119-134 2013
This paper studies a community-based Indigenous teacher education program in Northwestern Ontario in Canada. This program, the result of a partnership between the Northern Nishnawbe Education Council and Brock University, was designed to prepare Nishnawbe Aski to teach through a Two Worlds Orientation: unique Indigenous understandings combined with Western educational principles. The program characteristics and structure are outlined. The strengths of the program, as identified by teacher candidates and teacher educators, are explored. Challenges to teacher candidate success are also considered.
