Please trust me when I say that living in rural Alaska requires a very unique skill set. Almost every part of your life – your housing, your shopping, your clothing, your healthcare – will be different from what you've experienced in other parts of the country.“I wrote this book to help you make a smooth transition to rural Alaska teaching.

Best wishes.” --Wally RoseNote: Wally Rose is a pseudonym used by an Alaska teacher who wishes to maintain his privacy.

Download or read book A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska written by Hannah Breece and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote lawless wilderness of prospectors, murderous bootleggers, tribal chiefs, and Russian priests. She spent fourteen years educating Athabascans, Aleuts, Inuits, and Russians with the stubborn generosity of a born teacher and the clarity of an original and independent mind. Jane Jacobs, Hannah's great-niece, here offers an historical context to Breece's remarkable eyewitness account, filling in the narrative gaps, but always allowing the original words to ring clearly. It is more than an adventure story: it is a powerful work of women's history that provides important--and, at times, unsettling--insights into the unexamined assumptions and attitudes that governed white settler's behavior toward native communities at the turn of the century. "An unforgettable...story of a remarkable woman who lived a heroic life."--The New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the Alaska spawning salmon swim upstream, so did this single woman swim against the current of a society that expected her to fit the mold of wife and mother. When this rite of passage eluded Anna Bortel, she did not bemoan her singlehood. Instead, in 1954, this young school teacher drove up the Alaska-Canada Highway from Ohio to Valdez, where snow was measured in feet and an Easter Egg hunt unheard of. Her curiosity wasn't quelled. She pushed further north to an Athabascan village along the Yukon River. Drafty Quonset huts with freezing oil lines at 50 below zero added to her teaching rigors. Discouraged? Yes. Daunted? No. You'll smile, laugh, and shake your head in amazement as you read these heartwarming, inspiring, and captivating stories of teaching in the Territory of Alaska. www.prescriptionforadventure.com

Book excerpt: Life at Fifty Below Zero: An Alaskan Memoir on Teaching and Learning Do you know what a honey bucket is? Can you empty one? are not typical questions asked of prospective teachers. Hired to teach in a small rural village, accessed by plane or boat is also not a standard teaching experience for many teachers. But it was 1972, President Nixon had gone to China, the Watergate scandal was about to begin, and Alaska was another world away. They discussed moving to another "country." John Muir explained Alaska "is one of the most wonderful countries in the world." As they researched information about the far away forty-ninth state more questions were generated than answers revealed. They discovered winter was only nine to ten months long, not twelve. After landing in Alaska they learned how removed it was from their former comfortable civilized life. Living with no running water, no phones, no news from the outside world for days or weeks on end had its challenges, especially when the weather was colder and more unforgiving than they imagined. Then there were the daily encounters with moose or bears wandering through the village communities that was unnerving at first. They went to Alaska to teach, but were educated beyond anything they could have imagined. Two California 'wanna be hippies' ended up in the great expanse of Alaska which turned their lives upside down and created new paths. Life at Fifty Below Zero is a memoir spanning three decades of educational work and daily adventures.

Download or read book The Teacher and the Superintendent written by George E. Boulter II and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its inception in 1885, the Alaska School Service was charged with the assimilation of Alaskan Native children into mainstream American values and ways of life. Working in the missions and schools along the Yukon River were George E. Boulter and Alice Green, his future wife. Boulter, a Londoner originally drawn to the Klondike, had begun teaching in 1905 and by 1910 had been promoted to superintendent of schools for the Upper Yukon District. In 1907, Green left a comfortable family life in New Orleans to answer the “call to serve” in the Episcopal mission boarding schools for Native children at Anvik and Nenana, where she occupied the position of government teacher. As school superintendent, Boulter wrote frequently to his superiors in Seattle and Washington, DC, to discuss numerous administrative matters and to report on problems and conditions overall. From 1906 to 1918, Green kept a personal journal—hitherto in private possession—in which she reflected on her professional duties and her domestic life in Alaska. Collected in The Teacher and the Superintendent are Boulter’s letters and Green’s diary. Together, their vivid, first- hand impressions bespeak the earnest but paternalistic beliefs of those who lived and worked in immensely isolated regions, seeking to bring Christianity and “civilized” values to the Native children in their care. Beyond shedding private light on the missionary spirit, however, Boulter and Green have also left us an invaluable account of the daily conflicts that occurred between church and government and of the many injustices suffered by the Native population in the face of the misguided efforts of both institutions.

Download or read book Blueprint for Change in Alaska written by National Council on Teacher Quality and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2009 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" provided a comprehensive review of states' policies that impact the teaching profession. As a companion to last year's comprehensive state-by-state analysis, the 2010 edition provides each state with an individualized "Blueprint for Change," building off last year's "Yearbook" goals and recommendations. State teacher policy addresses a great many areas, including teacher preparation, certification, evaluation and compensation. With so many moving parts, it may be difficult for states to find a starting point on the road to reform. To this end, this paper provides a state-specific roadmap, organized in three main sections. Section 1 identifies policy concerns that need critical attention, the areas of highest priority for state policymakers. Section 2 outlines "low-hanging fruit," policy changes that can be implemented in relatively short order. Section 3 offers a short discussion of some longer-term systemic issues that states need to make sure stay on the radar. In the 2009 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook", Alaska had the following grades: (1) Delivering Well Prepared Teachers (F); (2) Expanding the Teaching Pool (C-); (3) Identifying Effective Teachers (D-); (4) Retaining Effective Teachers (C); and (5) Exiting Ineffective Teachers (D+). Alaska has an overall grade of D for 2009. In the last year, many states made significant changes to their teacher policies, spurred in many cases by the Race to the Top competition. Based on a review of state legislation, rules and regulations, the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) has identified no recent policy changes in Alaska. Alaska confirmed that there are no recent policy changes to report. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 5 figures.) [For the related reports, see "Blueprint for Change: National Summary. State Teacher Policy Yearbook, 2010" (ED515614) and "State Teacher Policy Yearbook, 2009. Alaska" (ED511875).].
