Description: Transforming the Culture of Schools by Jerry Lipka, With Gerald V. Mohatt, Esther Ilutsik Ethnographic study of long term collaboration between university faculty, Yupik teachers, and tribal elders to transform the culture of schooling. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book speaks directly to issues of equity and school transformation, and shows how one indigenous minority teachers group engaged in a process of transforming schooling in their community. Documented in one small locale far-removed from mainstream America, the personal narratives by Yupík Eskimo teachers address the very heart of school reform. The teachers struggles portray the first in a series of steps through which a group of Yupík teachers and university colleagues began a slow process of reconciling cultural differences and conflict between the culture of the school and the culture of the community.The story told in this book goes well beyond documenting individual narratives, by providing examples and insights for others who are involved in creating culturally responsive education that fundamentally changes the role and relationship of teachers and community to schooling.

Bonnett has provided an astute guide to the problems as well as the opportunities that state policymakers face as they help shape this crucial industrys development into the 21st Century."—Paul TeskeAssociate professor, SUNY at Stony Brook; author of After Divestiture: The Poand outside their classrooms....For preservice and inservice teachers, the book provides excellent examples that clearly establish the relationship between productive learning in school and cultural knowledge and experiences outside of school.
