Title Displayed in Event Calendar: Immersion Experience and Cultural Identity: Urban Students and Teachers Learning in Rural Alaska Native Communities
Session Participants:
G Williamson McDiarmid (University of Washington)
Alexandra R. Hill (University of Alaska-Anchorage)
Letitia C. Fickel (University of Alaska-Anchorage)
Rosyland Frazier (University of Alaska-Anchorage)
John Pingayaq (Kashunamiut School District)
Donald Shackleford (University of Alaska-Anchorage)
Paul Ongtooguk (University of Alaska-Anchorage)
Abstract:
Running through the work of a number of multicultural theorists (Banks, Gay, Garmon, Grant, Ladson-Billings, Neito, etc.) is the critical importance of teachers' understanding themselves as products of particular cultures. Yet, little evidence exists that students or teachers develop such critical understandings (McDiarmid, 1990). Too often, multicultural courses/workshops provide information but leave self-understanding untouched. This symposium will present outcome data from three related programs that, over the past 6 years, have immersed urban Alaska students and teachers in the rural Alaska Native communities. Data will be presented to show that program participants learn not only about Alaska Native culture but about their own cultural experiences and lenses. The data will include a professionally produced DVD (15 min) documenting teachers' experiences.
