Office of Diné Science, Math, and Technology (ODSMT): 1. The historic approval of the Diné School Accountability Plan (DSAP) in September 2016 has given “the green light” to the Department of Diné Education to begin implementing the academic contents and achievement standards to 60 BIE schools across the Navajo Nation that will be consolidated into one accountability system. Future phases of DSAP will integrate Navajo language and culture into the Navajo school accountability system. 2. DODE Administration and staff are convening planning meetings with stakeholders to implement Phase I of DSAP. A DODE team has been established to provide outreach to schools by sponsoring monthly updates, workshops, and technical assistance for schools reservation- wide, meeting with school leadership, and providing individual trainings at the school level. A Teacher Institute was sponsored by ODSMT and was attended by 75 teachers from 17 different schools. Teachers developed 13 models for school improvement for Phase I of DSAP. One model will be chosen at the next Teacher Institute and available for implementation. 3. DODE assigned staff are drafting amendments to Title 10 designed to improve accountability, transparency, and oversight of tribally-controlled schools under the authority and sanctions of the Navajo Nation.

  • Speaker Naize Looks to Economic Cooperation with Twin Arrows Groundbreaking
    The 22nd Navajo Nation Council — Office of the Speaker Contact: Michael Wero, Communications Director Phone: (928) 871-7160 (928) 255-3428 [email protected] March 22, 2011 www.navajonationcouncil.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Speaker Naize Looks to Economic Cooperation with Twin Arrows Groundbreaking Leupp, AZ — At Monday’s groundbreaking of the Navajo Nation’s fourth casino operation, Navajo Nation Council Speaker Johnny Naize told the audience that through economic cooperation the Nation, other Arizona tribes, and their neighboring communities can continue to grow and benefit from the native gaming industry. “Traditionally, the Navajo Nation and the city of Flagstaff haven’t had the best relations on how to allocate natural resources or how to accommodate culturally significant sites, like the San Francisco Peaks, in our search to better our economic environments,” said Speaker Naize. “I’m hoping this project, though the jobs and revenue it generates, will lead to more understanding between our communities.” Naize also reiterated that as Navajo gaming operations expand, they must also remain as a tool to generate economic opportunities for the other new and existing industries that would employ many Navajos. He noted this in the project’s commitment to reducing the high unemployment rate on the Navajo Nation. “Some have criticized the Navajo Nation’s use of its Navajo Employment Preference Law, but it has leveled the playing field for small Navajo businesses to participate in the construction of these larger projects,” said Naize. “I have been informed that, besides the Navajo employees that will go to work once this facility is completed, the primary construction company building this project will also focus on using Navajo labor.” Being the first Navajo casino operation in Arizona, Naize called on continuing a positive relationship with the state and its gaming tribes.

  • President Nez and Vice President Lizer Deliver the State of the Navajo Nation Address
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 19, 2021 President Nez and Vice President Lizer deliver the State of the Navajo Nation Address PHOTO: Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer deliver the State of the Navajo Nation Address from the Office of the President and Vice President in Window Rock, Ariz. on April 19, 2021. WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer presented the State of the Navajo Nation Address virtually to the 24th Navajo Nation Council on Monday, during the opening day of the Spring Council Session. At the start of the address, President Nez took time to honor and remember former Council Delegate Nelson S. BeGaye who passed away on April 15 at the age 69, following a long battle with cancer, and former Navajo Nation President Albert Hale who passed away on February 2 due to complications from COVID-19. He then turned his focus to the Navajo Nation’s fight against COVID-19 and the variants. “On March 30th, we announced the first confirmed case of the B.1.1.7 variant, also known as the U.K. variant, which was identified in the western portion of our Nation. One week later, the B.1.429 variant known as the California variant was identified in the Chinle Service Unit, and most recently, in the Gallup Service Unit and Shiprock Service Unit. Despite these new challenges, our Navajo people have managed to keep our numbers of new COVID-19 infections relatively low. This is in large part due to the commitment of our health care workers who have worked non-stop to administer the COVID-19 vaccines since December,” said President Nez.
