Related Data Collection Optional ? In order to examine the benefits of Native language mastery among Native students, the Grotto Foundation will collect student academic data. Given the challenges of Indian education on a state and national level, it is unreasonable to expect that this initiative will have an overwhelming impact on the academic achievement of Native students. However, it is conceivable that positive correlations may occur. Grotto welcomes any such data. The Grotto Foundation recognizes that very little exists in evidence-based programs to revitalize indigenous languages in our region. We rely, then, on the practice wisdom of the community and the promising approaches that have been documented thus far. It is by assessing progress of Grotto-supported programs and change in language status that we will learn of our impact. Submitting Your Proposal
