event. The Siletz delegation also included Bud Lane, language and traditional arts
instructor and Tribal Council member, and Tribal Council members Delores Pigsley
and Loraine Butler.

Education Investment Board) Bulletin of Jan. 23, 2015
From the Desk
of the
Chief Education Officer
When communities come together to support students the results are powerful. When
that support is centered around key student transitions the impact is even more
profound.
I recently had the opportunity to meet with leaders from the Confederated Tribes of the
Siletz whose efforts to promote early learning, culturally specific programs, and inter-
generational interaction were truly inspiring.
The Tribe runs a series of programs to support students from before they are born
throughout childhood including a Home Visiting Program for families of newborns. The
program provides maternal and child health, early learning family support, a culturally
specific curriculum called Family Spirit, and books for the children at each visit. The Tribe
also has an impressive educational childcare center aligned with Oregon's kindergarten
standards, contributes resources to the Siletz Valley Charter School and runs a summer
reading program. Both the Siletz Cultural Resources Program and the school
engage tribal students alongside the community by teaching and recording the Siletz
language and hosting culturally specific events.
While touring the coast, I also visited the Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC) and
saw another tremendous example of the community linking arms in support of students.
At OCCC, the nursing program and Aquarium Science program work with the community
to meet local needs, offer experience to students, and connect graduates with jobs.
