Strengths for K-5
Monthly themes for the school year
Four quarter plans K-5, Az State Native Languages Standards
DAP Assessment: CRT, TMT, OCL, PBA
Summary Sheets: Verbal lessons/pre-post assessments
Lesson Plans based on DEP (Dine Educational Philosophy)

3. NAVAJO LANGUAGE CURRICULUM
Areas of Concern
Need to revisit the curriculum
IEC for program (schedule of meetings)
Fundings: JOM and Title VI - share proposed budget prior money allocation
School or teacher supplies
Beyond contract for staff to work on curriculum improvement, data digs, attend trainings/workshops.
Leadership direction for the program itself for decision making
Guidance and Parental Support is needed

4. NAVAJO LANGUAGE CURRICULUM
Suggestions for Improvement
Need a director or coordinator for the program
Need to decide whether to continue to use Az World Native Languages Standards -
which includes: communication - reading, writing, listening, and speaking; culture connection, comparisons, communities.
Navajo Nation Standards which has five (5) components: oral language, culture, government, navajo history, and Dine character building.
Navajo Oral Language Assessment which has been compiled by DODE, who can decide this for our program?
