Current Strategic Direction
The 2024-2030 Strategic Direction was developed in partnership with students, families, employees, tribal leaders, educational partners, and community members. Their ideals are reflected in the Bureau’s vision, mission, overarching priorities, strategies, and core values. The BIE’s strategic planning process is rooted in the evidence-based practice of conducting research, benchmarking, environmental scans, and, most importantly, an iterative process of collecting input and feedback from BIE stakeholders. What sets the 2024-2030 Strategic Direction apart is the recognition that each tribal sovereign nation holds the solutions to the challenges, and we have demonstrated our commitment to supporting those solutions throughout this process.
Previous Strategic Direction
In 2018, the Bureau of Indian Education launched the 2018-2023 BIE Strategic Direction to transform the BIE into a service-minded institution and provide a high-quality education to students. The 2018-2023 Strategic Direction was based on the collaborative work and expertise of parents, students, teachers, staff, tribal leadership, and those invested in Native American education. This five-year plan encompassed six goals, 26 strategies, 104 milestones, and 326 actions that instilled the values of excellence, focus, integrity, respect, and service throughout the Bureau.
