National Indian Education Study Part I Available May 14 on the NAEP
    Date: Thu May 8, 2008 9:39 am ((PDT))

 The National Indian Education Study (NIES) is a two-part study designed to
 describe the condition of education for American Indian and Alaska Native
 (AI/AN) students in the United States. The first part, providing in-depth
 information on the academic performance of fourth- and eighth-grade AI/AN students
 on the 2007 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in mathematics
 and reading, will be released May 14. The results will be available online
 at  http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard on the day of release.
 
 Part II of the study was conducted through a survey to explore the
 educational experiences of the fourth- and eighth-grade AI/AN students who
 participated in the NAEP assessments. The survey focused on the integration of native
 language and culture into school and classroom activities. Results of the 2007
 survey are scheduled to be available in the summer of 2008.
 
 NIES was first conducted in 2005, and provides data on a nationally
 representative sample of AI/AN students in public, private, Department of Defense,
 and Bureau of Indian Education funded schools. It is a reliable source of data
 for educators, administrators, and policymakers who address the educational
 needs of our students. See Parts I and II of the 2005 NIES at
 http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/nies/
 
 The study was funded by the Office of Indian Education (OIE) and conducted
 by the National Center for Education Statistics for the U.S. Department of
 Education.
 
 NAEP, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, is administered by
 the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education
 Sciences.
