Abstract |
| Purpose: This project will
increase the capability of the Chief Dull Knife College to provide
training in all areas of special education serving preschool
children to high school students with disabilities. It will provide
advanced training for American Indian personnel serving infants,
toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities, thus helping to
eliminate the national, state, and regional shortage of qualified
American Indian special education professionals and
paraprofessionals. |
| Method:The project will
train 24 paraprofessional and professional minority personnel in
special education during the project period and place these
personnel in special education positions on and near the Northern
Cheyenne Reservation. The program will train eight special education
teacher assistants at the associate's degree level, two teachers at
the bachelor's degree level, and two teachers at the masters degree
level between 1999-2003. It is expected that four of the eight
teacher assistants training in 1999-2001 will matriculate to Montana
State University-Billings (a four-year institution) and complete
their Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and Certification in
Special Education (double major). Between 2001-2003, another six
students will enter the paraprofessional training program as well as
two students at the Masters of Science degree level. |
