First Peoples Center for Education

First people'Peoples's Center for Education's mission is to improve and support teacher effectiveness in native communities because we believe america's First children deserve the best. Our goal is systemic change through a comprehensive mathematics and literacy approach in the school. First people'Peoples's Center for Education and schools establish a multi-year partnership to develop local capacity to provide professional development and coaching support; establish a clear vision with measurable goals; engage parents and community members; ensure implementation; collect and analyze data; provide on-going support ; and ensure the best possible instruction. The single most influential factor determining learning is not socioeconomic factors or funding levels; it is instruction. Teaching has 6 - 10 times the impact on achievement as all other factors.
