Summary
Discusses difficulties facing non Indigenous teachers; explores curriculum, language (use of creole in particular), subject areas, spatial concepts, written texts; explains that difficulty for Indigenous students has nothing to do with intelligence or aptitude; policy, curriculum and teaching methods need to be in accord with and give respect to students' experience
