What is Title
VII?
The Title VII Indian Education Program was implemented in the
Mustang Public School district in 1994 and is designed to assist
eligible Alaska Native and Native American students throughout their
public school career. The Title VII Indian Education Program is part of the No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The program concentrates its efforts in
these areas: 1. Increase academic achievements; and 2. Foster a supportive and effective learning environment. To achieve
its objectives, the Title VII staff includes Federal Programs
Coordinator, Carol Wood and Certified Teachers Kris Green, Karie
Greenwood and Denice McElhaney.
Specifically, as direct services to students, the Title VII Program provides academic tutoring to eligible Alaska Native and American Indian students. The teachers also implement and evaluate individual-specific educational learning plans, maintain and evaluate student records, and track academic progress. As advocates, the teachers also communicate with students, parents/guardians, classroom teachers and school administration.
Title VII funds may
be used to:
-
Identify Alaska Native/Native American students most at-risk in meeting state standards.
-
Assess the needs of students in the Mustang Public Schools district.
-
Support research-based, comprehensive educational programs to help reduce educational barriers.
-
Ensure that students receive appropriate coordinated educational services, including support services that address their individual needs.
-
Help Alaska Native/Native American students achieve the same standards as developed for other students.
-
Design programs to facilitate students' successful transitions to post-secondary education and employment.
