Summary: | First Nations are in the process of reasserting unique locally responsive forms of sovereignty. Schooling in this time of transition requires talented lay and professional educators who are aware of language, culture, and effective teaching strategies. They will need to be aware of the role of the school in the creation of healthy communities, as healthy communal living is one foundational element in the formation of stable self-government. This article is intended to provide a cross-cultural exploration of the concept of community and of seven features of a community school model based on an analysis of 30 selections written by community education theorists. |
