Summary:The schools range from small and band-operated ones to those situated in urban centers, those that serve kindergarten to grade 12 students to those where the instructors serve students who are returning to formal learning after an absence in the work force, those operating on the traditional school year to those that operate on other arrangements, and those funded by the federal government to those funded by the provincial government and in operation in communities with a high Aboriginal population. The lucid organization of the book - executive summary, introduction, followed by 10 case studies and three chapters that discuss patterns, issues, and policy recommendations - and its clear writing will make it an asset to practitioners involved in all aspects of education.
