Description: The Partners for Success drop out prevention program, operated by the Cook Inlet Tribal Council, is designed to draw from Native-based research to create intervention strategies. The project focuses on six strategies identified as the best ways to improve the quality of Alaska Native education by the First Alaska Foundation and CITC evaluations: parent involvement, teacher improvement, increasing the number and abilities of native teachers, academic enhancement, native culture classes, and communication with teachers. Program services are both school- and home-based and are delivered to the eight middle and high schools in the Anchorage School District with the largest Native population.
