1976-1977 Final Report and Evaluation, Title IV Project, Independent School District #12 (Blaine, Minnesota).
Bercier, Byron
Objectives of the Title IV Indian Education Program were designed to meet the educational needs of the Native American students within the public school as defined by Federal program regulations. During the 1976-77 school year, the Parent Committee hired a Home/School Coordinator, the only staff position in the program. The Coordinator was to identify Native American students within the school district and to provide such services as personal, academic, and crisis counseling, family referrals, long-term personal problem solving, and making student contacts. Program activities were directed around socially and culturally oriented activities from which students would benefit. To evaluate the program, a questionnaire was given to teachers, students, parents, and administrative personnel. The school administration and teachers were very supportive toward the Native American students and problems they faced in school and the community by working closely with the Home/School Coordinator when difficulties arose. This in itself showed progress and an important function of Title IV in the school system. It was determined that the program had successfully completed its third year of operation. This report summarizes the activities and involvement of the Coordinator, and the program activities for the students and for the Parent Committee members; gives brief examples of the types of service provided by the Coordinator; and gives a tally count of the responses to 10 statements covering the program's general objectives along with the questionnaire.
