Questions 5–8 ask about mathematics resource teachers and mathematics coaches.
Mathematics resource teachers provide additional instructional support to
students and have special expertise in assessing and diagnosing students’
mathematics strengths and needs to assist with learning and understanding.
Mathematics coaches work with teachers to help them implement and use
strategies to improve their students’ ability to use mathematics in their classes.
In some schools, a single person may serve in both roles regardless of the title they
have. Please answer questions 5–8 based on the roles as defined in this paragraph.

NIES Grade 4 School
National Indian Education Study
School Questionnaire: Grade 4
The questions in this survey are designed to gather information about schools that
serve American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) students. In particular, we ask
about the inclusion of native languages and cultural perspectives in the curriculum
and about interactions between the school and the AI/AN community. Schools
that serve only a few AI/AN students may adopt different approaches than schools
that serve many such students. There are no wrong answers to these questions.
This questionnaire should be completed by the principal or the head administrator.
Use only a No. 2 pencil to answer all hard-copy questions in this booklet. Some
questions require you to answer by filling in the ovals completely. For other
questions you are asked to fill in numbers. For these questions, please print the
appropriate numbers LEGIBLY in each of the boxes provided. Keep all printing
within the boxes.
Example:
150 should be written as
0,1 5 0
Other questions require you to PRINT ANSWERS LEGIBLY on the lines indicated.
For all questions, do not make any stray marks.

Questions 5–8 ask about mathematics resource teachers and mathematics coaches.
Mathematics resource teachers provide additional instructional support to
students and have special expertise in assessing and diagnosing students’
mathematics strengths and needs to assist with learning and understanding.
Mathematics coaches work with teachers to help them implement and use
strategies to improve their students’ ability to use mathematics in their classes.
In some schools, a single person may serve in both roles regardless of the title they
have. Please answer questions 5–8 based on the roles as defined in this paragraph.

NIES Grade 8 School
National Indian Education Study
School Questionnaire: Grade 8
The questions in this survey are designed to gather information about schools that
serve American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) students. In particular, we ask
about the inclusion of native languages and cultural perspectives in the curriculum
and about interactions between the school and the AI/AN community. Schools
that serve only a few AI/AN students may adopt different approaches than schools
that serve many such students. There are no wrong answers to these questions.
This questionnaire should be completed by the principal or the head administrator.
Use only a No. 2 pencil to answer all hard-copy questions in this booklet. Some
questions require you to answer by filling in the ovals completely. For other
questions you are asked to fill in numbers. For these questions, please print the
appropriate numbers LEGIBLY in each of the boxes provided. Keep all printing
within the boxes.
Example:
150 should be written as
0,1 5 0
Other questions require you to PRINT ANSWERS LEGIBLY on the lines indicated.
For all questions, do not make any stray marks.
