Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The manuscript will carefully discuss the beginning and turbulent struggle of Wayne County Community College in the 60s; the middle years of growth and pain of the 70s; the crisis of the 80s that almost closed the college; the growth in the 90s; and its current status of productivity and stability. In addition, the book will address community and instructional leaders roles, duties, responsibilities, and styles. Their commitments and obligations in the teaching, learning, and leadership development process will also be addressed. The document will demonstrate how to plan, how to develop your own leadership style, and how to inspire leadership in others. This body of work is an outgrowth of many years of discussions between citizens of Detroit; former students, teachers, and staff; political and community leaders; and the board of trustees and former presidents of Wayne County Community College in Detroit, Michigan, whom I owe a tremendous amount of admiration, respect, and appreciation too.
Community Self-Determination
Author: John J. LaukaitisPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438457707
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Examines the educational programs American Indians developed to preserve their cultural and ethnic identity, improve their livelihood, and serve the needs of their youth in Chicago. After World War II, American Indians began relocating to urban areas in large numbers, in search of employment. Partly influenced by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this migration from rural reservations to metropolitan centers presented both challenges and opportunities. This history examines the educational programs American Indians developed in Chicago and gives particular attention to how the American Indian community chose its own distinct path within and outside of the larger American Indian self-determination movement. In what John J. Laukaitis terms community self-determination, American Indians in Chicago demonstrated considerable agency as they developed their own programs and worked within already existent institutions. The community-based initiatives included youth programs at the American Indian Center and St. Augustine’s Center for American Indians, the Native American Committee’s Adult Learning Center, Little Big Horn High School, O-Wai-Ya-Wa Elementary School, Native American Educational Services College, and the Institute for Native American Development at Truman College. Community Self-Determination presents the first major examination of these initiatives and programs and provides an understanding of how education functioned as a form of activism for Chicago’s American Indian community. John J. Laukaitis is Assistant Professor of Education at North Park University.
