Fifty-plus Years of Chalkdust: the Making of a Teacher's Teacher Calsue Murray

My book is about my fifty plus years as an educator. Travel with me to Pueblo Indian communities in New Mexico. Experience forty plus years with Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache students. Be surprised as I was by their innate, intellectual, and learning abilities. Learn of all the reasons that I had to swell with pride at their accomplishments as scholars as they progressed into high school and college. Discover the need for cross-cultural and bilingual education. Be amazed at how effectively students at all levels helped me to learn the many things that facilitated my professional development and eventuated in my becoming a teacher?s teacher. The journey was long and arduous but it was worth every step of the way.
