Are there other NCES studies describing the education of American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) students?
The NIES was first conducted in 2005 and reported in two parts, examining American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students’ performance in NAEP mathematics and reading assessments, and their educational experiences. It was conducted again in 2007 and 2009. Additional studies using NAEP data include Status and Trends in the Education of American Indians and Alaska Natives: 2008, and an earlier status and trends report. Four studies from NCES that use 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) data describe characteristics of elementary and secondary public, private, and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools, focusing on school characteristics, school library media centers, principals, and teachers. Also see American Indian and Alaska Native Children: Findings From the Base Year of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) and related resources from NCES. There are other recent reports using NAEP data from the Regional Educational Laboratories (REL) in the Institute
