- Title
IDENTIFYING THE LEARNING NEEDS OF INNU STUDENTS: CREATING A MODEL OF CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENT.
- Authors
Philpott, David
- Abstract
This article discusses the methodology and findings of a major assessment project of Innu children in Labrador. The project was commissioned to identify the learning needs of these children so as to facilitate an enhanced school system, responsive to Innu language and culture. The researchers developed a methodology which carefully blends qualitative and quantitative approaches, within a paradigm of culturally defined inclusive schooling, to obtain a wealth of information on the learning needs of these children. Amidst the flurry of concern for culturally appropriate assessment, these researchers provide tangible, field-tested information on how schools can use assessment to enhance education.
