Reviews
It has been my privilege to have worked with Dr. Beverly Klug over the years in Indian Education. I would like to recommend Culturally Relevant Teaching: Making Space for Indigenous Peoples in the Schoolhouse, as a resource for educators or others working with American Indian students. In 1983, A Nation At Risk, was published by the national Commission on Excellence in Education with the belief that all children can learn. That is still the belief today. Culturally Relevant Teaching: Making Space for Indigenous Peoples in the Schoolhouse is an outstanding resource for educators in understanding culture and its effects on the teaching and learning styles for American Indian Students. Education for our students is a means for helping to preserve and protect our traditions, language, and culture. Our goal is to help build strong individuals who can succeed in both worlds.--Donna E.H. McArthur, Indian Education Director Blackfoot, Idaho School District, Ret. This well researched book both informs and inspires. The history of Native American education has been a sad one but the insights and proposed actions within this volume suggest a brighter future for not only indigenous students but also for a broader, more inclusive, and equitable curriculum for all learners. While scholarly, this book is friendly not only to educators at all levels, but also to parents, community members, and others committed to educational equity.--Patricia T. Whitfield, PhD, former Rountree Caldwell Bryant Endowed Professor of Education, Lyon College, Batesville AR
Klug draws from a wide variety of research to show how educators can support indigenous students. She makes the point throughout the book that teachers need to know where their students come from--experientially, culturally, and historically--to tailor their teaching to students' interests, strengths, and needs.... Klug's recommendations for improving indigenous education are useful in regard to improving the education of any ethnic group. Recommended. Undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.-- Choice It has been my privilege to have worked with Dr. Beverly Klug over the years in Indian Education.
