Abstract	The third year of Title IV-A Indian Education programs in Albuquerque, New Mexico, public schools saw fulfillment of some program objectives despite funding decreases, personnel cuts, and increased requests for remedial tutoring. Two tutors and a counselor tutored 15 middle school and 26 high school students from the Navajo community of Canoncito in an effort to improve/maintain student grades. Turnover of tutoring staff and decreased tutoring contacts resulted in 81% of grades decreasing and 12% remaining the same. Four tutors tutored 53 middle school and 68 high school students from the Isleta Pueblo in an effort to maintain/improve letter grades and to increase student involvement in extracurricular activities. Isleta program objectives were achieved--12% of grades remained the same, 57% improved while 40% of the students participated in extracurricular activities. The urban program component employed 42 tutors, a resource teacher, a program coordinator, and a secretary to tutor 578 students in grades K-12. The program met its objective of increased student personal effectiveness/self-image and improved skills necessary for continued learning. Insufficient data prevented evaluation of student improvement using the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills. Recommendations for program improvement included: analyze personnel needs, establish program parameters, provide inservice education for tutors, and standardize recordkeeping. (LFL)
