TEACHER' SCHOLARSHIPS
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
SANTA CRUZ - JULY 9-29, 1989
The Educational Advancement and Enrichment Pro
gram has developed a community sponsored educational
approach that helps students overcome obstacles that
prevent them from graduating from high school
There has been dramatic success with most of our
students completing high school, developing career goals
and continuing their studies at a university level
The communities and parents notice immediate results
and see an attitude change in their children. The
program helps students recognize their ability to learn,
which gives them confidence and control over their
learning process.
Since 1984, over one hundred students, grades 10-12,
have attended a three week summer program at both
the University of California, Santa Cruz sponsored by
Saddle Lake Indian Band and at the University of
.Alaska, Juneau sponsored by Tlinglt and Haida, Indian
Tribes of Alaska. The National Indian Education
Association and the State of California have awarded
"model program" status to these education efforts.
In 1989, The Educational Advancement and Enrichment -Program
will be an open enrollment program, allowing
multiple communities to participate by sponsoring
students who they feel will be motivated by attending.
The University of California Extension will award 9
units of continuing education and a certificate to each
student who completes the program.
The summer program for Indian high school students,
grades 10-12, focuses on each student's potential,
challenging them through an advanced level curriculum,
encouraging the development of educational goals, and
stimulating their achievement through innovative
teaching methods. The program motivates and acceler
ates students' knowledge, skills and abilities in mathe
matics, writing skills, personal development and cultur
ally relevant leanings.
To reinforce positive attitudes and self-esteem, help
them resolve learning problems, make decisions, and
develop leadership skills that help them become role
models in their community.
