A Recommended Process for the Implementation of CHOICE (Communities Have Options in Control of Education).
Bureau of Indian Affairs (Dept. of Interior), Washington, DC.
American Indian people, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and the nation all have a common interest in assuring a quality education for Indian children. No education program can be truly effective, however, unless it has the support and the involvement of those directly benefiting from it--the Indian students, parents, and communities. Therefore, the BIA developed the Communities Have Options in Control of Education (CHOICE) Program to insure that educational self-determination becomes a fact for Indian people. With this in mind, the BIA has attempted to develop a useful implementation process to assist Indian people in making informed choices concerning educational programs and goals. This booklet describes each element in the implementation process--presentation, development and expression of community readiness; identification of goals, objectives, and needs; translation of needs into educational possibilities; program planning and revision; program design and development; evaluation; and the status report. Each description answers four questions: who it is that performs the functions of each element; what it is that can be accomplished in each element; when each element should occur in the annual cycle; and why it is desirable that each element occur in the process.
