Discover the profound impact of top-down, policy-into-practice educational mandates on indigenous communities in the United States' midwestern core. In this insightful book, the author delves into the intricate dynamics of policy development and reform in Nebraska, examining how leaders and intermediaries at various tiers conceptualized and implemented school accountability policy in Indian country.
Phillips takes a close look at state-directed reform efforts in a school on the Santee Sioux Reservation, consistently labeled as failing and subject to persistent intervention from outsiders perceived as experts. Through meticulous research, the book interrogates the very definition of educational quality, the criteria for determining who qualifies as an expert in school improvement, and the actual outcomes of such efforts.
What sets this text apart is its exploration of the ways in which local educators and community members employed everyday tactics and inconspicuous acts of improvement to reshape school turnaround efforts. Readers will gain a unique perspective on what is possible for education policy when it is approached with a genuine commitment to collaborating with and respecting Native communities and schools. The lessons learned in this book have far-reaching implications beyond the midwestern states, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay between policy, culture, and educational outcomes.
This book is a must-read for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex challenges faced by indigenous communities and the potential for positive change through culturally responsive and sustaining policymaking.
