Strategic Direction

The Bureau of Indian Education is beginning a new chapter by improving its education service delivery through the BIE Strategic Direction (Direction). This Direction is a tool to transform BIE into the serviceminded institution it should be to provide a high-quality education to our students. One focused on instilling the values of Excellence, Focus, Integrity, Respect, and Service throughout the agency to make sure students are provided a culturally relevant, high-quality education that prepares them with the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to flourish in the opportunities of tomorrow. Visiting with students and staff in schools across Indian Country as well as with Tribal and education stakeholders revealed that while great work was taking place in many locations, the BIE lacked a common strategy for capitalizing on local efforts making a positive difference in peoples’ lives. Nor did BIE have an effective tool to address unnecessary barriers for meeting our top priority – providing a quality education to our students. The Direction changes all that.
