The Strategies for American Indian
Parent Involvement study entails four focus groups with American
Indian parents to explore: 1) the ways in which American Indian
parents and families get involved in their childrens education; 2)
the barriers to their involvement; and 3) school strategies that
have helped these families get involved in their childrens
education. Participating parents will be chosen from Center Region
states with high concentrations of American Indian students.
Results of the study will be provided to school, district, and SEA
administrators so they can make use of strategies to increase
parent involvement of American Indian communities.
