TTTJTVWWTrZ Members of the Johnson O'Mal ley Committee, Title IV Commit tee. Education Committee and the Warm Springs Education Depart ment introduced the roles of each committee to retreat participants. The meeting enabled committee members and other participants an opportunity "to gain a better understanding of the relationship i '" ' v V r" Sunnort proun available t- ri o r A positive sup roup offer Madras Jr. High girls a time to discuss problems and work on self image. Linda Thompson fr A arm Springs Youth Services conducts the workshop. Similar sessions are planned next school year m oolh Madras High School and Madras Jr. High. between educational programs, says JOM chairman Debbie Smith. Often, says Smith, community members do not become involved in the committees unless a personal need is felt. It's "usually the same narents" who are involved in var ious committees and activities. She says the committees need support and ideas from parents and the community and, "They need to get some direction." It was felt by some participants that the educational system for Warm Springs students is struc tured to make the student depend ant on the Tribe and prevents par ent and child from accepting re sponsibility for education. Encour agement to pursue education, to procure financial assistance and responsiblity should come from the student and parents. Students must have the desire to learn ingrained at home. They must "learn how to learn," says tribal education specialist Levi Bobb. "Kids learn by what's said at the dinner table... We've squelched a lot of the initiative... We've made it too easy,"one participant adds. Parent involvement, encourage ment and participation helps to stimulate the desire for education. District school board member Lloyd Smith. Sr. pointed out. "Stud ents that have their parent's back ing do well." He also notes that "Studies show Indian parents have high expectations for their child ren." It is important for parents to support their children in their educational pursuits. Retreat participants listed areas needing attention in the education system: An emphasis must be placed on academic and career education; Post-secondary training must be encouraged; Financial planning should be encouraged; Culture and Heritage needs to be a part of edu cation helping to improve self-esteem; Parental Involvement ineducation is essential; and. Leadership devel opment should be stressed. Definition of needs and problem areas prompted participants to take a positive approach in formulating goals and activities to reach goals. Goals to improve the educational system for the Warm Springs community include the following: 1. To increase communication between committees, school, tribe and community. 2. To increase parenting skills and family responsibility. 3. To raise student performance. 4. To encourage and implement cultural education and activities. 5. To decrease use of drugs and alcohol. 6. To develop comprehensive career development programs.
