4Directions focuses on integrating Native American culture and technology into education in a way that enables students to maintain and learn their heritage while taking full advantage of their future. The 4Directions consortia is achieving this through:
- restructuring curricula through building on local cultures and values;
- collaborating using Internet activities across sites through on-site training,
on-line tutoring, and cooperative teaming;
- creating networked "virtual communities" with Internet teleconferencing;
- encouraging life-long learning by extending Internet access into surrounding
communities;
- maintaining and extending a network database of teaching, assessment,
professional development, and student created resources organized by Goals
for American Indians, Alaskan Natives and national standards; and
- creating a research based evaluation model.
