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.

I share a proven way for transporting your clothes and household goods to remote Alaska.

I didn't find it, so I decided to write it myself! Now, you can learn from my experience. 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

Download or read book Cheechako Teacher written by Stephen Ruben Carter and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seventy percent of teachers in rural Alaska come from the lower 48, most having little to no introduction to the culture they are entering or what will be asked of them as teachers. The turnover rate of teachers in rural Alaska far outstrips the national average; in some rural districts turnover is nearly 100 percent each year. This leads us to conclude that the first year of teaching in rural Alaska must be highly charged experience. Though many studies have been done on first-year teachers in rural Alaska, none has focused on the teachers' personal writings produced while in the midst of their experience. This study is a narrative inquiry into the first-person accounts of first-year teachers in rural Alaska from 1896 to 2006. The study constructs "plot points", (meaning events and tensions that drive the teachers' narratives) that delimit the structure of the average first-year Alaskan teacher story. The accounts are divided into two sections: historical accounts and contemporary accounts. Each of these sections is divided according to a series of plot points, namely: (1) the decision, (2) the arrival, (3) the first day of school, (4) collisions, (5) integration, and (6) effectiveness (historical section only), and (7) the final decision (contemporary teachers only). The study points out the similarities and contrasts between historical accounts and contemporary accounts and seeks to bring these into dialogue with Alaska-specific pedagogical theories. The study concludes that the utility of first-year teachers' writings is not derived from their prescriptions, but their descriptions. Thus, the study recommends (1) that more first-person written narratives be gathered from first-year teachers in rural Alaska to facilitate a more in depth study, (2) that new teachers in Alaska avail themselves of the written narratives of their professional forebears, (3) that Alaska's public education system create room for first-year teachers to tell their stories in non-judgmental settings, and (4) that future study also focus on perceptions of first-year teachers by their students and village"--Leaves iii-iv.

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.
