Indian Teachers and School Improvement.
Chavers, Dean
Journal of American Indian Education, v39 n2 p49-59 2000
Past failures in American Indian education are linked to lingering assimilationist practices, outdated curricula, and low expectations of Indian youth. A key to improving Indian education is changing school culture and increasing the numbers of Indian teachers and administrators. Elements of a model teacher education program are presented, and innovations that are working in Indian schools are reviewed. (TD)
