| contents | Teaching Mountain Children: Towards a Foundation of Understanding. Mielke, David N., Ed. Administrator Attitudes Area Studies Attitudes Blacks Demography Elementary Secondary Education Ethnic Studies Family Life Females Music Regional Characteristics Regional Dialects Religion Rural Education Rural to Urban Migration Schools Teacher Attitudes Values The collection of 31 articles about Appalachian history, culture, customs, and education by people from a variety of backgrounds is intended to facilitate understanding of the special needs of Appalachian students by teachers and school administrators. Designed to address the problems faced in 16 specific counties in Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina, the selections are generally relevant to the region as a whole. The articles in the book are attempts to sensitize educators to the historical, social, and economic conditions of Southern Appalachia, as well as to acquaint them with the area's language, values, family life, religion, and music. There are discussions of Appalachian women, blacks, and urban migration. Some articles examine the exploitation of Southern Appalachia by outside interests and the distortion of the region by the national media. Regional people who have critically examined Appalachian schools present their educational views. A briefly annotated bibliography lists books, periodicals, and films which could form the core of an Appalachian studies collection in a school library. (Author/SB) |
