- Summary:
-
A curriculum was developed and a model was tested to help tribal girls realize that they will be workers; plan realistically for their years as members of the labor force; make decisions in their teens that will help them prepare adequately for the world of work; and believe that they have special talents and abilities that are unique to them. Components of the program were curriculum development; employment and training of group leaders; group sessions with girls in local communities; career conferences and field trips for the girls; involvement of parents and other adults working with youth; and sharing of project results. An advisory committee assisted with each component. Curriculum units focused on "being an Indian woman", "being a special person", and "about careers". Members of local communities were hired as group leaders to work with 473 girls ranging from 9 to 18 years of age. The program was conducted in 17 communities in Wisconsin by 27 group leaders. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre- and posttests; a checklist to evaluate learning experiences; an open-ended questionnaire for girls; a questionnaire for group leaders; and interviews with advisory committee members, parents, and tribal council members. It was found that the program was well received by tribal communities; the girls changed attitudes, gained knowledge, and made plans for the future as a result of the program; and the girls liked the learning experiences provided in the curriculum.
