To more accurately account for student count data, there needs to be a digital count that can be shared with limited entities. For example, if there are students that are off their reservation, they don't need to be counted twice. To ensure this doesn't happen, quick sharing of this information needs to be done in a protected way. Once student demographic and geological data is shared, that data is at risk to be breeched. Sharing student count data, within a protected data repository, where tribes are owners of this data and will have sovereign rights to this data, is ideal. This is the area that I am increasingly interested in at the UArizona.

In a collaborative effort between the National Johnson O'Malley Association (NJOMA) Region 1 Representative and the Arizona Department of Education, a state-wide forum for Johnson O'Malley (JOM) support was started with a virtual kick-off held in January 2022. We are continuing the Arizona wide JOM forum that will be held quarterly. The overall purpose of this forum is to provide an opportunity for all JOM contractors in Arizona to unite and discuss any challenges with JOM, gain guidance, and share best practices. Each quarterly forum is recorded to document the needs of JOM contractors, and the guidance provided by participants, NJOMA, and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). Ultimately, the forum provides an opportunity to collaborate in creating a united and consistent support structure for Arizona Indigenous students. Although the forum is geared towards the JOM contractors, all stakeholders in Indian Education are welcome to attend.

Arizona Wakelet Toolkits

Please Note: The resources in the toolkits are a collection of resources for JOM participants to select and use at their discretion. They are not directives from NJOMA. Each JOM program is unique and the purpose of the toolkits is to provide options. The toolkits are created through collaborative efforts with JOM stakeholders. If there are resources you use or tips that have helped you with your JOM program, please send to Region1.NJOMA@gmail.com.
