Naca Inspired Schools Network (Nisn)

Description

• The Native American Community Academy Inspired Schools Network aims to establish community led schools over the next few years in Native communities in New Mexico and throughout the country by engaging communities to launch schools of Excellence and Relevance. New Mexico is home to the fourth largest Native American population in the United States. Far too often, Native American students have not had the opportunity to access schools that effectively support Native American identity, culture, language, college preparation, and community. Schools with high Native American student populations have historically set alarmingly disconnected expectations for their students. This pattern has been allowed to continue for decades - a cycle that the NACA-Inspired Schools Network (NISN) is determined to change. This effort will recruit school leaders from across the state and country to develop a network of schools providing rigorous academic curriculum aimed at college preparation while promoting Native American culture, identity, and community investment. The project will include fellowships, leadership training, technical assistance, and ongoing support in establishing schools - with the effort culminating in 10 NISN schools, based on the NACA community led-design model, by 2017.
