To what extent do you use your students' American Indian or Alaska Native language(s) to teach core subjects?	Total	SE	High density schools	SE	Low density schools	SE
Frequent use of AI/AN language(s)	2.05	(0.27)	4.26	(0.62)	0.10	(0.05)
Occasional use of AI/AN language(s)	10.90	(0.86)	20.03	(1.95)	2.87	(0.52)
Instruction entirely in English	87.02	(0.96)	75.72	(2.26)	96.97	(0.54)
NOTE: AI/AN = American Indian/Alaska Native. School density indicates the proportion of AI/AN students enrolled. High density schools have 25 percent or more AI/AN students. Low density schools have less than 25 percent. Detail may not sum to totals because the response choice "Instruction is primarily in students' AI/AN language(s)" is not shown. Standard errors (SE) of the estimates appear in parentheses. Observed differences are not necessarily statistically significant.
