KnowledgeBases > The American Indian Education KnowledgeBase > Element 3 > Activity 1 > Task 4: Summarize Snapshot Findings

Guideline: Summarizing the data collection tasks accomplished under Activity 1 will give a measurement of a school's performance as it relates to the school's native students.  Educators should focus on:
  • assessing native student academic achievement results with that of other student populations within the school;
  • assessing how the curriculum and instructional content and methods support the academic needs of the native students;
  • assessing the professional development needs of the staff regarding American Indian education; and
  • identifying the school staff's awareness level about the local American Indian tribe(s).
Tools Analyzing Program Needs and Setting Goals

This tool is useful for recording the results of data collection with the goal of identifying the school's strengths and needs, and proposing the core goals. It is suggested that a different analysis sheet be completed for each focus area studied.

Tools Buried Treasure: Developing a Management Guide From Mountains of School Data _EXTERNAL_LINK

This document, Buried Treasure: Developing a Management Guide From Mountains of School Data, uses a story form to illustrate the use of a set of key indicators as a management guide for a fictional school board and superintendent. The story is provided as an illustrative example of using school data. The story is the result of work on how to structure and organize a group of key performance indicators as a management guide for local educators. It was developed by The Center on Reinventing Public Education at the University of Washington's Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs under a grant from the Wallace Foundation.
