No additional funding ortime was allocated to run the project which continues to be administered on a mixture of good-will and unpaid overtime! Despite this, the primary outcome of seeing the fortunes of some ofthe weakest students being turned around has been exceptionally rewarding. In reflecting uponthe project, ten key recommendations for institutions, colleagues and students are made:Recommendations for Institutions: 1. Financial Resources: Should be ring-fenced to provide a

Such an assessmentof crystallized intelligence in solving the ramp problem would rely much on the spatial reasoningof the free body diagram with various sketched vector lengths. It is interesting to note that thedecision of taking a short cut and bypassing the free body diagram reasoning could be relatedmore to default behaviors (and the absence of executive control) than with emotion; as shown bya recent decision science report in which the conclusion of “The enemy of reasoning is notemotion, but a lack of mental effort” was supported by

Another pattern revolved around pedagogicalmethods; some proposed that teachers must take extra care to teach to various learning styles andmake curriculum content relatable to students’ lives, and others suggested that instructionalmethods should reflect a natural, traditionally-rooted learning style. A final common thread thatwas mentioned in two of the three groups was the importance of integrating technology intolearning in order to help American Indian students stay connected to the 21st century.
