Measures

On most measures of educational success, Native American
children trail every other racial and ethnic group of students.
To explore the reasons why, Education Week sent a reporter,
photographer, and videographer to American Indian
reservations in South Dakota and California. The resulting
package of stories, multimedia, video, and photography
details the challenges and opportunities facing this
population of students. Commentary essays offer additional
perspectives.

FOUNDATION SUPPORT: Coverage of specific topics in Education Week is supported in
part by grants from the Atlantic Philanthropies, the California Endowment, the Carnegie
Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the GE
Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Lumina
Foundation, the NoVo Foundation, the Noyce Foundation, the Raikes Foundation, the Wallace
Foundation, and the Walton Family Foundation. The newspaper retains sole editorial control
over the content of the articles that are underwritten by the foundations.
