In each setting the book explores the relationships between indigenous ways of thinking and western discourse in reference to the preparation of educators, whether they be teachers, community leaders, or newly arrived immigrants in Canada. In each case the authors’ focus is on the tensions between the local understandings and global ideas, and the creation of space for diverse but intersecting worldviews. The book’s goal is to investigate ways that teacher educators, parents, and communities can better prepare children for the realities of schooling while preserving the integrity of local norms and values through educator preparation programs.Energy policyEnergy policyElectric power productionEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementElectrical Power EngineeringMechanical Power EngineeringEnergy policy.Energy policy.Electric power production.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Electrical Power Engineering.Mechanical Power Engineering.621.042Prochner Larryauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut929355Cleghorn Ailieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autKirova Annaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMassing Christineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910253989403321Teacher Education in Diverse Settings2088760UNINA
