Parents have opportunities to help children learn in school
What do parents receive, being
involved in their child's school?
1. Enjoyment in being with other
adults and children.
2. A chance to get out of the house
and expand your horizons.
3. You meet other parents who
have similar needs or concerns.
4. You can become informed about
the educational process, especially
your child's.
5. You can go on field trips.
How do children benefit by hav
ing parents involved in their schools?
1. It builds your child's self-esteem.
2. Your child get motivated when
parents are involved at school.
3. It can create a better parent-child-teacher
relationship.
Ten ways to help your child with
math
1. Have your child figure out
mileage between towns when you're
on a trip. Have him or her estimate
how long it will take you to get where
you're going.
2. Have your child double a recipe
for you or cut it in half.
3. Have your child compute a time
problem. For example, "You need to
get up at 7:00 a.m., what time should
you go to bed to get eight hours of
sleep?"
4. Take your child grocery shop
ping and figure out some costs. For
example, "Is it cheaper to buy two
cans of soup for 89 cents or three
cans for $1.39?"
5. Keep a record of your children's
growth in height, perhaps on a closet
door. Ask them to figure out how
many inches they have grown since
the last time they were measured.
6. Buy a pocket calculator and
practice using it with your child.
7. Have your child figure out what
gas mileage you're getting in your
car. If you use public transit, ask
your child to figure out what one
week's or one month's fares would
be.
8. When you're at a restaurant,
have your child figure out the bill and

the tip.
9. Have your child figure out win
loss percentages for the school team
or other favorite team.
10. Help your child figure out a
budget for allowance or money he or
she earns. Work with your child to
keep track of how much is spent and
how much is saved.
Seven ways to assure a successful
parentteacher conference
1. Write notes to yourself before
the conference about important top
ics to cover. You might want the
teachers to know about your child's
home life, personality, problems,
habits or hobbies. Or, you may want
to address your concerns about school
policies or programs or your child's
progress.
2. Ask your children what they
would like you to talk about with
their teachers. Also, ask your kids
what they think are their best and
worst subjects and have them ex
plain why.
3. Stay calm during the confer
ence. Remember, you're there for
only one reason: to help your child.
4. Ask for an explanation if the
teacher uses a term, or talks about
something that you don't understand.
5. Ask important questions first,
in case you run out of time.
6. Try to ask such questions as: Is
my child in different groups for dif
ferent subjects? Why? How well does
my child get along with others? What
are his or her best subjects? Is my
child working up to his or her ability?
Does my child participate in class
discussions and activities? Has my
child missed any classes other than
the ones I contacted the school about?
What kinds of tests are being done?
What do they tell about my child's
progress? How well does my child
handle taking tests?
7. Find out specific ways that you
can help your child perform better in
.school. At home, discuss these strat
egies with your child and let him or
her know that you and the teacher
care what happens. Then, start work
ing on your plan immediately. Fi
nally, remember to follow up with
the teacher to discuss your child's
progress.
Ten ways to help your child learn
. to read
1. Encourage your child to read
aloud to you and listen.
2. Have your child look up phone
numbers for you. It's one way to
show that reading is both useful and
necessary.
3. Play word games with your
child.
4. When you're in a restaurant,
have your child read the menu to
you.
5. Writing is part of reading. Get
some inexpensive postcards for your
child to write notes on to send to
relatives or friends.
6. Encourage your child to keep a
diary and write about special experi
ences, such as a trip to the zoo.
7. When you're in the car, have
your child read signs along the road.
8. Encourage library visits. Let
your child choose his or her own
books. Have a place in your child's
room where the books can be kept.
9. Read yourself! Your example
is the best way to let your child know
that you think reading is a good idea.
10. Be positive! Give your child
lots of praise and encouragement
You can never make a child do
better by making him feel bad.

Haskell enters new era
Haskell Indian Junior College
moved into a new era this fall after
receiving approval from the North
Central Association to begin a bac
calaureate program.
Bob Martin, president of Haskell,
announced earlier this semester that
NCA confirmed the College's ac
creditation of the new elementary
teacher education program. Ap
proximately 25 students have en
rolled in courses in the program this
fall.
Martin said that NCA's approval
was the culmination of a campus
wide planning effort based on data
which reflects the need for Native
American teachers across the United
States. He said that reports issued
from the White House Conference
on Indian Education and the Indian
Nations at Risk Task Force both con
curred with the need for Native
American teachers and for Native
American culture to be reflected in
the curriculum. Martin said that he
believes that Haskell's Elementary
Teacher Education program will as
sist in addressing these concerns.
In addition, NCA approved a five
year continued accreditation for
Haskell's associate programs which
will continue to be offered. How
ever, Martin said that with the new
program, Haskell becomes the only
institution in the United States with a
100 Native American Alaskan
Native enrollment which offers a
bachelors degree.
According to Gaye Leia King,
chair of the Teacher Education de
partment, the program will incorpo
rate various aspects of Native
American cultures into all of the
courses taught to elementary school
children. In addition, this program
creates opportunities for children to
see Native Americans as role mod
els. " Al though we have come to a point
where we have Indian people in
prominent positions, we still don't
see a lot of Indian people in the
classroom," King said. "Indian lead
ers are leaving their home areas be
cause there are few employment op
portunities. This program will give
students the ability to find employ
ment as a teacher not only in schools
with the predominant culture, but
also an opportunity to work in their
'home area,'" she said.
The Haskell Board of Regents
approved the program in 1990 and
last May after the NCA evaluation
team visited the campus, the Board
approved a name change which will
reflect Haskell's changing mission.
According to George Tiger, Haskell
Board of Regents president, the name
Haskell Indian Nations Univer
sity has been submitted to the
Officeof Indian Education programs
for their concurrence. He said that
the name was selected to note the
change in the mission and to indicate
the Board's respect and support for
Indian nation sovereignty.
Haskell, located in Lawrence,
Kansas had an enrollment of 982
students this fall. The students repre
sent 140 tribes from 32 stales.
