The Oregon State Plan for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) education was developed by AI/AN communities and educators, the State Board of Education, and the State Department of Education. The plan includes 11 major educational goals: (1) the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) should promote effective education for AI/AN children; (2) educational programs shall be developed to address the needs of all AI/AN children; (3) AI/AN parents and community leaders shall have an opportunity to provide input regarding programs for AI/AN students; (4) ODE shall develop data gathering process systems to collect and disseminate uniform and comprehensive data on AI/AN students; (5) teachers, counselors, administrators, and other ancillary personnel should be knowledgeable about and responsive to AI/AN students and their needs; (6) historical and contemporary curriculum materials that are culturally specific and age and developmentally appropriate shall be used; (7) ODE shall identify and implement nonbiased, culturally appropriate instruments to assess achievement levels of AI/AN students; (8) high quality early childhood education programs shall be developed to meet the needs of AI/AN students; (9) AI/AN students shall have equal access to all public school programs; (10) ODE shall implement strategies for reducing the AI/AN student dropout rate; and (11) the state board of education shall support the state board of higher education's policies and practices that ensure that AI/AN students are provided equal access and opportunities for postsecondary education in the state. Each major and secondary goal is accompanied by strategies for achieving the objective and related ODE responsibilities.
