- Abstract
Diné College in Tsaile, Arizona requires all new faculty to take a course on Navajo educational philosophy taught by a Navajo faculty member. The institution requires faculty to embed the Sa'ah Naaghál Bik'eh Hózhódn (SNBH) philosophy into their content, course curriculum, academic textbook, class assignments, and course assessment. This article discusses the SNBH philosophy as incorporated the teaching of college-level reading at Diné College during the fall 2004 semester. A variety of learning techniques were adapted to teach the reading of textbook chapters and preparing for exams drawing on the SNBH philosophy and western cultural strategies.
