Transforming Diné Education: Innovations in Pedagogy and Practice
No Customer Reviews
Transforming Din? Education: Innovations in Pedagogy and Practice gathers the voices of Din? scholars, educators, and administrators to offer critical insights into contemporary programs that place Din?-centered pedagogy into practice. Bringing together decades of teaching experience, contributors offer perspectives from school- and community-based programs, as well as the tribal, district, and university level. They address special education, language revitalization, wellness, self-determination and sovereignty, and university-tribal-community partnerships. These contributions foreground Din? ways of knowing both as an educational philosophy and as an active practice applied in the innovative programs the book highlights. The contributors deepen our understanding of the state of Navajo education by sharing their perspectives about effective teaching practices and the development of programs that advance educational opportunities for Navajo youth. This work provides stories of Din? resilience, resistance, and survival. It articulates a Din?-centered pedagogy that will benefit educators and learners for generations to come. Transforming Din? Education fills a need in the larger literature of curricular and programmatic development and provides tools for academic success for all American Indian students.
