- Description
- Interested members of the public are invited to attend a briefing on the Preliminary Study for Experimental Research on Culturally Based Education for American Indian/Alaska Native Students being conducted by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL) under contract with the U.S. Department of Education. The tasks in the preliminary study are: 1. To conduct a review of the literature on the effectiveness of culturally based education. 2. To assess the feasibility of conducting an experiment to test the effectiveness of culturally based education for AI/AN students. 3. Option: If feasible, to design such an experiment. 4. To hold a symposium on the experimental design. Should a full-scale experimental study prove to be feasible, USED may in the future issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for this work. To assure that potential bidders for such a full-scale experimental study have access to the same body of information about the preliminary study, NWREL will hold three public briefings to describe findings and progress on the preliminary study. The first briefing was held in Seattle on February 24, 2003. The second briefing will be held in Albuquerque on December 15, 2004, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in the Vista Norte room at the Wyndham Albuquerque Hotel.
