This narrative report introduces the Rough Rock Demonstration School's background, organization, and setting, which is characterized as a scene for doing what is needed in Indian education. Educational services discussed are preschool services (which include a Head Start class and a kindergarten class), phase one services (for the primary grades), and phase two services (for older students). Dormitory services are discussed in terms of staff, students, activities, and problems of behavior and health. The Navaho Curriculum Center's activities, financed primarily by E.S.E.A. Title I funds, are discussed in terms of a transition period at the beginning of the 1968-69 fiscal year, and of its continuing work, which emphasized the writing of Navaho language books and the use of classroom aides. The Rough Rock Development Project is discussed in terms of its development out of the Community Services Division of the demonstration school. School Board decisions from July, 1968 to June, 1969 are listed and briefly discussed. [Photographic illustrations have been deleted due to their marginal reproducibility.] (JM)
