Cross-Cultural Partnerships: Acknowledging the "Equal Other" in the Rural/Urban American Indian Teacher Education Program.
Smolkin, Laura B.; Suina, Joseph H.
Teaching and Teacher Education, v15 n5 p571-90 Jul 1999
Describes the Rural/Urban American Indian Teacher Education Program, based on Baber's (1970) notion of the equal other. It featured cross-cultural partnerships at every possible level. Its goals were to prepare more American-Indian teachers and culturally enhance the preparation of white, female, monolingual candidates. The paper examines some of the program's successes, failures, and distinctive features. (SM)
