Download or read book The Renaissance of American Indian Higher Education written by Maenette K.P. A Benham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Native American Higher Education Initiative (NAHEI), a W.W. Kellogg Foundation project, has supported the development and growth of centers of excellence at Tribal Colleges and Universities across the United States. These are centers of new thinking about learning and teaching, modeling alternative forms of educational leadership, and constructing new systems of post-secondary learning at Tribal Colleges and Universities. This book translates the knowledge gained through the NAHEI programs into a form that can be adapted by a broad audience, including practitioners in pre-K through post-secondary education, educational administrators, educational policymakers, scholars, and philanthropic foundations, to improve the learning and life experience of native (and non-native) learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of The David C. Anchin Research Center Series on Educational Policy in the 21st century: Opportunities, Challenges, and Solutions focuses on tribal colleges and universities. As a recent member of higher education community, tribal colleges and universities provide a unique perspective on higher education policy. Policies and structures rely increasingly on native culture and traditions and yet provide the framework for academic rigor, collaboration, and relevance. Tribal Colleges and Universities have played an integral role in the growing numbers of students who attain the bachelor’s degree. According to Ward (2002), these colleges and universities experienced a five-fold increase in student enrollment between 1982 and 1996. As it stands today, approximately 142,800 American Indians and Alaska Natives who are 25 and older hold a graduate or professional degree (Diverse, 2007), and Tribal Colleges and Universities have been integral to this graduate level attainment. With this edited volume, Dr. Linda Sue Warner and Dr. Gerald E. Gipp, and the invited scholarly contributors, have provided a comprehensive explication of the phenomenal history of Tribal Colleges and Universities in the United States and the policy issues and concerns that these colleges and universities face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a well researched history on American Indian higher education from the seventeenth century through the present time and it describes why and how early education efforts failed tribal groups. Out of these first efforts, and two centuries later, the tribally controlled Indian college movement began. Oppelt looks at each Indian controlled college that has been established since the early 1960s and gives some perspective on each one's educational philosophy, history, and status as they each exist today"--Back cover.

Book excerpt: This study was designed to provide expert, objective, independent advice to 11 tribal colleges that are working together to offer engineering programs. The chief data-gathering activity was a one and one-half day workshop. Reasons for establishing a four-year engineering program at a TCU were outlined in the workshopâ€"making it possible for American Indian students to complete a four-year engineering degree entirely within the tribal college system; reducing the high attrition rate of American Indian students who attend mainstream educational institutions; and providing an engineering program that is culturally relevant to tribal students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from site visits conducted over a 2-year period, this study report assesses the current status of the 24 tribally controlled colleges in the United States. A foreword by Ernest L. Boyer summarizes the major study findings, including the following: (1) at almost all of the colleges, salaries were too low, libraries were underfunded, and budgets were inadequate; (2) in addition to conventional college curricula to prepare students to transfer to four-year institutions, the colleges offered programs for older students, transition programs for re-entry students, and enrichment programs for high school students; and (3) at the heart of the tribal college movement is a commitment by Native Americans to reclaim their cultural heritage. Chapter 1 provides a brief history of tribal colleges and notes four characteristics common to all of the institutions. First, tribal colleges establish a learning environment that encourages participation and builds self-confidence in students who have come to view failure as the norm. Second, tribal colleges celebrate and help sustain Native American traditions. Third, they provide essential community services, and, fourth, they serve as centers for research and scholarship. Chapter 2 traces the history of Native American "mis-education," noting the negative role played in the past by boarding schools. Chapter 3 provides a profile of the 24 tribal colleges in terms of educational philosophy, curriculum, enrollment, students, governance, faculty, physical facilities, and funding. In chapter 4, the role of these institutions within their local communities is discussed, with respect to cultural change, health care, and economic empowerment. Chapter 5 considers their role in building communities and rebuilding a sense of heritage. Finally, chapter 6 presents a series of recommendations for ensuring educational quality and tribal renewal. A list of tribally controlled colleges is appended. (AYC)

Book excerpt: Updating a 1989 report on the status of tribally controlled colleges in the United States, this monograph describes the history and characteristics of the tribal college movement and presents recommendations for the colleges. An introduction provides a brief history of tribal colleges and notes four common characteristics: they establish a learning environment that encourages participation and builds self-confidence in students who have come to view failure as the norm; they celebrate and help sustain Native American traditions; they provide essential community services; and they serve as centers for research and scholarship. Chapter 1 then traces the history of Native American "mis-education," noting the negative role played in the past by boarding schools, and chapter 2 reviews the original needs for establishing tribal colleges, including low college participation and graduation rates among Native Americans. Chapter 3 provides an overview of the 27 existing tribal colleges, describing governance, curriculum, instruction, students, facilities, funding, and intercollege cooperation. Chapter 4 discusses issues affecting reservations to provide a context in which the colleges operate, focusing on economic empowerment, efforts to rebuild traditions, and health care. Chapter 5 describes the role that the colleges play to bring about fundamental change on reservations, highlighting efforts to serve students, rebuild cultures, and strengthen communities. Finally, chapter 6 presents 10 recommendations for ensuring educational quality and tribal renewal. A list of tribally controlled colleges is appended. (HAA)
