The last NAEP SIG webinar of 2022 occurred on December 13, 3-4PM ET (12-1PM PT).听 For the first time, NAEP Studies SIG collaborated听with the 熊猫视频Indigenous Peoples of Americans SIG to discuss the NAEP National Indian Education Study (NIES).
The National Indian Education Study (NIES) is a special study funded by the Office of Indian Education (OIE).听 The study includes oversampling of American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) students in public schools and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) Schools.听 The 2019 study design consisted of students taking the 2019 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) operational assessment followed by a short survey questionnaire specific to AI/AN students about the role of AI/AN culture in students' lives and school experiences.听 Additionally, teachers and school administrators of the sampled AI/AN students responded to questions about the integration of Native culture and language into instruction and how schools respond to the distinctive needs of their AI/AN students.
The webinar provided an overview of NIES followed by deeper insights into the context and significance of NIES as well as critical quantitative perspectives about NIES.听 Future research topics to explore using the NIES data were听also shared for the NAEP research community members.
