Abstract

"The Native American Higher Education Initiative (NAHEI), a W. K. 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 postsecondary 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 postsecondary education, educational administrators, educational policy makers, scholars, and philanthropic foundations, to improve the learning and life experience of native (and nonnative) learners." -- Back cover.
