Tribal Nations. Tribal organizations and Native parent committees are critical partners to include in the local planning and implementation of improvement practices for Native students. In the state of Washington, there are 29 federally recognized tribes, each of which is its own politically independent, self-governing entity that operates according to its own constitution. It is important to recognize that there is no one size fits all strategy for serving the academic, cultural, social and emotional needs of Native students. ESDs addressing this initiative will partner with OSPI and work with districts on activities that include: Examine opportunity and achievement gaps for all students, which includes Native students with disabilities even though the student population may be small, and develop an equity plan for providing all students with a high quality, culturally responsive education; Recognize the diversity within and among tribes. Implementation guidance may look different for Native students with disabilities living in urban, suburban, and rural communities; Consider positive cultural identity as a critical factor that enables students to engage in school and community to realize their goals. By connecting with local Tribes and teaching the history of local Native communities, schools can help build this positive cultural identity in Native students with disabilities as well as knowledge of non-Native educators and students; Support Tribal consultation (involving Tribes within meaningful decision-making for Native students) for federal grant programs, Since Time Immemorial sovereignty curricula development and implementation, Native language programs, and academic supports for Native students; Support alignment, data sharing and analysis between Tribal schools and state schools, and especially as students transition between different public school systems.
