Support and Strategies for Enriching Achievement of Native American Students. Information Request
Southeast Comprehensive Center
One of the states served by the Southeast Comprehensive Center (SECC) requested the center's assistance in compiling information regarding educational support for Native American students. To obtain this information, SECC staff contacted 16 states that have state agency contacts for Indian Education and/or that indicate a population of more than 4,000 Native American (NA) students (U.S. Department of Education, 2008, 2014). The center requested the following from the 16 state departments of education (SDEs), with respect to Native American students: successful strategies and related policies that states, schools, and school districts have implemented to support and enrich academic performance, specifically to: (1) Improve graduation rates; (2) Reduce dropout rates; (3) Reduce student suspensions; (4) Increase enrollment in upper level high school courses; (5) Increase enrollment in extracurricular activities; and (6) Increase family engagement. This report begins with a discussion of the the procedures for selecting materials for this report, general limitations of the resources, details regarding the states' responses and summaries of the selected resources. Further discussion of state-based efforts to support Native American students and recommendations for enriching achievement of this student group occur in the references of this report. Resource summaries are also provided.
