BIE Strategic Direction Goals: Comprehensive Strategic Direction Overview

Topic / The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is currently in its third year of implementing its Strategic Direction (“Direction”) for 2018-2023. During the original Tribal consultation and listening sessions, the BIE stated it would provide a mid-cycle review to report implementation progress and receive input regarding the potential need to make substantive changes to the Direction. Given the unforeseen impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the need to provide Tribes and other stakeholders with a meaningful opportunity to shape the remaining years of the BIE’s implementation efforts is especially important.
To obtain meaningful input regarding years 4 and 5 of the Direction, the BIE Performance Office designated separate sessions to focus input on each of the Direction’s six mission areas and goals. Similar to BIE’s initial Tribal consultation held prior to the Direction’s implementation, comments received during the mid-cycle listening sessions will be recorded for consideration.
