Teaching Each Other: Nehinuw Concepts and Indigenous Pedagogies

by Linda M. Goulet, Keith N. Goulet

In recent decades, educators have been seeking ways to improve outcomes for Indigenous students. Yet most Indigenous education still takes place within a theoretical framework based in Eurocentric thought. Teaching Each Other provides an alternative framework for teachers working with Indigenous students – one that moves beyond merely acknowledging Indigenous culture to one that actually strengthens Indigenous identity. Drawing on Nehinuw (Cree) concepts such as kiskinaumatowin, or "teaching each other," Goulet and Goulet demonstrate how teachers and students can become partners in education. They provide a template for educators anywhere who want to engage with students whose culture is different from that of the mainstream.

There were some really beneficial concepts in this book, however overall it was on the drier side. It was a bit tough to get through. I wish there were more case studies to illustrate the model of effective teaching for Indigenous students. The cover of the book is beautiful.

Read for a course on Indigenous Student Success. There are some great ideas in here and the model is helpful to think about. Some of the wordiness can be hard to focus on. The examples are the most interesting parts. 3.5/5
