Shifting Attention from "Discipline Problems" to "Virtue
Awareness" in American Indian and Alaska Native Education
<http://www.ael.org/eric/digests/edorc03-6.pdf> (October 2003),

by Four Arrows (D.T. Jacobs), presents the author's theoretical
perspective on effective education for American Indian and Alaska
Native (AI/AN) children and youth. Jacobs argues for the
development of AI/AN students' awareness of core virtues (e.g.,
courage, generosity, humility, honesty, fortitude and patience) by
"weaving virtue awareness continually into all aspects of teaching
and curriculum" (p.1). Such an approach, he suggests, is in
keeping with AI/AN culture.
