MSU program brings Native Americans into school leadership roles

January 31, 2008View for printing

Montana schools where more than 50 percent of the student population is Native American suffer from the highest rates of principal and superintendent turnover in the state. Native American students in those schools also suffer a high school dropout rate three times their white counterparts, according to the Montana Office of Public Instruction.

"We know from research that you can't have quality schools when you have high levels of administrative turnover," said Joanne Erickson, an MSU education professor who hopes to change those statistics. "Quality administrative leadership contributes as much to student achievement as quality teaching."
