Circle of Learning

This project is funded by an Alaska Native Education Program grant from the US Department of Education. The grantee is the Native Village of Unalakleet.

The Bering Strait School District (BSSD), Native Village of Unalakleet, Alaska Council of School Administrators/Alaska Staff Development Network (ASDN) and RGI Research Corporation have come together to create a partnership to address four areas of identified educational needs of Alaska Native students. The identified needs are academic/learning loss, social emotional wellness, cultural belonging, identity and language, and preparation for postsecondary education.

Objectives:
1. To support students to achieve academic success.

3. To increase student cultural awareness, self-identity and Inupiat/Yup’ik Language skills.
