Abstract: The Strategies for American Indian Parent Involvement study entails four focus groups with American Indian parents to explore: 1) the ways in which American Indian parents and families get involved in their children’s education; 2) the barriers to their involvement; and 3) school strategies that have helped these families get involved in their children’s education. Participating parents will be chosen from Center Region states with high concentrations of American Indian students. Results of the study will be provided to school, district, and SEA administrators so they can make use of strategies to increase parent involvement of American Indian communities.
