National Indian Education Study
Grade 8 Teacher Questionnaire
The questions in this survey are designed to gather information about the classroom
experiences of American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) students. In particular, we ask
about the inclusion of native languages and cultural perspectives in the curriculum and
about interactions between the school and the AI/AN community. Teachers who have only
a few AI/AN students in their classes may adopt different teaching strategies than teachers
who have many such students. There are no wrong answers to these questions.
Use only a No. 2 pencil to answer all questions in this booklet. Some questions require
you to answer by filling in the ovals completely. For other questions, you are asked to fill in
numbers. For these questions, please print the appropriate number LEGIBLY in each of the
boxes provided. Keep all printing in boxes.

Example:

5 Should be written as

0 5
Other questions require you to PRINT ANSWERS LEGIBLY on the lines indicated. For all
questions, do not make any stray marks.
