In recent decades, educators have been seeking ways to improve
outcomes for Indigenous students. Yet most Indigenous education at the
K-12 level still takes place within a theoretical framework based in
Eurocentric thought. In Teaching Each Other, Linda Goulet and Keith
Goulet provide an alternative framework for teachers working with
Indigenous students – one that moves beyond acknowledging Indigenous
culture to one that actually strengthens Indigenous identity. Drawing
on Nehinuw (Cree) concepts such as kiskinaumatowin, or “teaching
each other,” Goulet and Goulet provide a new approach to teaching
Indigenous students. Just as beaders learn how to improve their own
designs and techniques from watching others beaders work,
kiskinaumatowin, when applied in the classroom, transforms the
normally hierarchical teacher-student relationship by making students
and teachers equitable partners in education. Enriched with the
success stories of educators who use Nehinuw concepts in Saskatchewan,
Canada, this book demonstrates how this framework works in practice.
The result is an alternative teaching model that can be used by
teachers anywhere who want to engage with students whose culture may
be different from the mainstream.
