General Education Department Goals

Goal:  Each program will establish data collection procedures, or a tracking procedure, for their students.

        Program counselors/directors, working with the Education Department Director, will determine appropriate data for them to collect

        Program counselors/directors will create an electronic data collection procedure and a regular process to back up the data.

        As much past data will be collected and recorded as possible

        Data collection will be an ongoing activity for each program

Goal: Tribal students’ school enrollment will be tracked from admittance into first grade through graduation or other conclusion of public school education

• Department personnel will work closely with public school officials to keep track of students as they move between schools and districts.
• Department personnel will gain parental permission as (or if) required by state and federal regulations before gathering the data.
• Pursue agreements with school districts to make this happen (Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the Navajo Nation have reached agreements with the States and school districts to obtain this information).

Goal:  Education Department personnel will work with other Tribal programs to improve student success.

• Education Department personnel will be aware of support programs offered through other departments and how they can help students access them
• Education Department personnel, especially URHS staff, may integrate some of their procedures with other Tribal programs.
