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.
