Report: Achievement gap patterns of grade 8 American Indian and Alaska Native students in reading and mathCategoriesSTUDENTS, culturally and linguistically diverse, EQUITY, outcomes AreasSTATE:inquiry on equity in schooling AuthorsSteven Nelson, Richard Greenough, Nicole Sage Published2009 PublisherU.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, Regional Educational Laboratory Northwest, with contributions from REL Central, REL Midwest, REL Northeast and Islands, REL Pacific, REL Southeast, REL Southwest, and REL West AbstractThe results indicate that in most states both American Indian and Alaska Native students and all other students experienced achievement gains across the study period. Although achievement gaps were generally found to persist, the American Indian and Alaska Native students were at least keeping pace by increasing in achievement along with all other students. The majority of states with three or four years of continuous data saw an increase in the proficiency rates of American Indian and Alaska Native students—with either a decrease in their performance deficit or, in states where their performance was above that of other groups, an increase in their performance lead over other students. For reading, they decreased the gap by which they trailed or increased the gap by which they led in 11 of the 19 states with three or four years of continuous data. For math, American Indian and Alaska Native students either decreased the gap by which they trailed other students or increased the gap by which they led in 14 of the 18 states with three or four years of continuous data.
