A Ten-Year Plan for Indian Education: With Particular Reference to Navajo Community Schools.
Stout, Irving W.
The 10-year plan for American Indian Education, though overall in its intent, is presented with special reference to the Community Schools on the Navajo Reservation. The plan is based on convictions that facility in the use of the English language is a prime necessity for both children and adults; that a continually enriched environment is desirable; that an educational program, to be fully comprehensive, must include offerings for all ages; and that parents must be actively involved. Basic to the plan is the concept of continuous individual progress. The proposal covers the areas of parent-child centers, day schools, college opportunity, leadership training, extended adult education, mobile educational units, training centers, and local school boards. Fifteen recommendations are made in the areas listed above. The plan is intended to make allowances for the natural and wholly desirable diversity from reservation to reservation owing to geographical and environmental conditions and to individual differences in outlook and leadership.
