Dear Board Member:

Why do Native youth experience the highest rate of violence, dropouts, suspensions and expulsions, yet lowest in reading levels and graduation rates in both Native and mixed schools?

Come to a special Native Education Workshop and get answers to these questions.  Also review practical step-by-step methods to correct the problem and meet the "No Child Left Behind" requirements.

  • New research on the unique motivation triggers, value systems and learning strengths of Native children.
  • Methods of capitalizing on Indian learning strengths to greatly improve Native students' reading, math and science achievements.
  • Learn about new intervention skills to more effectively respond to student misbehaviors.  Help misbehaving students (fights, cussing, insolence, etc.) make behavioral changes [capitalizing on educable moments] and in the process, stop the high rates of discipline dropouts, transfers and suspensions of Native children.
  • How to maintain steady enrollment levels throughout the year, while preventing absenteeism, drugs and violence.
  • The "why" of excessive Native alcoholism and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (F.A.S.), family break-ups, and how "Native Ways to Prevention" can stop it.
  • Survival skills for children living in substance abuse environments.
  • Learn how the fracture in parenting skills from 200 years ago continues to affect Native people today.  In addition, learn about the different drinking patterns that, because of being unknown to non-Indian researchers, has been left out of drug programs - resulting in costly failures.

If you are tired of the huge Native school dropout, violence and drug use rates, come see how "Native Ways to Drug and Violence Prevention" can transform your entire community.  Imagine a safe, drug and violence free community with happy children and healthy families.

Hope to see you there!
