Wednesday, April 18, 2012 Cook Inlet Tribal Council's High School Program:
Ensuring Alaska Native Student Success
w/Gail Weinstein of Bartlett High School
(Faculty Learning Community)
1:30 - 3:30 pm LIB 307
In 2000, Cook Inlet
Tribal Council (CITC), in partnership with the Anchorage School
District, launched a pilot project to test a unique new "school
within a school" educational model at the elementary, middle school
and high school levels. Designed to close the gap between educational
performance between Alaska Native and non-Native students, the program
reaches over 1000 Alaska Native young people annually. Encompassing math,
science, language arts, and other core subjects, it has reduced the
achievement gap for high school students at Bartlett and West High School, and
ensured that more Alaska Native students successfully make the transition to
college. Join us to hear Gail Weinstein share about her experiences with
the program at Bartlett.
