Completed Projects

Discussion Series on 2005 Alaska Native K-12 Education Indicators.
The Policy Center has completed several projects that can be found in our online Library.

» Alaska Native Student Vitality 
This study came about as frustrations surfaced in the Alaska Native and research communities around the use of measures that are limited to factors such as school attendance, standardized test scores, and high school graduation and dropout rates to define Alaska Native student success.

» Rural Development Performance Measures 
The Rural Development Performance Measures (RDPM) project, funded by the Denali Commission, originally intended to design and test a system of rural development performance measures linking economic growth to poverty reduction. The performance measures would be used to evaluate the effectiveness of economic development programs in reducing poverty in rural Alaska communities. The RDPM project does not present a "test," but rather, it identifies tools for outcome planning by communities, provides a step-by-step guide to finding data on the internet and from agencies; and offers additional analysis of existing and potential indicators that could track economic growth or progress in rural communities.

» Alaska Literacy Report 
Pre-K through 3rd Grade Literacy Programs in Alaska: A Preliminary Review and Selected Resources on Indigenous Children's Literacy Development.

» Our Choices Our Future 
An analysis of "The Status of Alaska Natives 2004"; a data report published by UAA's Institute of Social and Economic Research.

» Native Perspectives on Alaska Issues 
A survey of Native perspectives on topics such as mobility, quality of life, statewide and community issues, education, gender issues, the economy, leadership, environment, and subsistence.

» Alaska Native K-12 Education Indicators, 2005 
The indicators report provides a brief overview of Alaska Native educational performance, focusing on school profiles, district profiles, and teacher profiles

» Alaska Native Education Study 
A literature search of professional writings on Native American education, in-depth interviews with experts in the field, Native focus groups in urban and rural areas, and a telephone poll of 1,000 Native households throughout the state.
