Online Education for Native students

[Dmark916 at AOL.COM]

Hello Jan: I have recently retired from the California Department of
Education, but remain on the ILAT listserv. An area that is of interest in California
has been to assist paraprofessionals to meet the requirements of the federal
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act that requires a highly qualified persons to
provide educational services to students receiving Title I (compensatory
education) funding. Distance learning is a perfect venue for Native American
paraprofessionals who need to be working on an AA degree. In California such
individuals work in many remote areas of the state, where opportunities are few. If
pursuing the idea of providing coursework for paraprofessionals to receive their
AA degree sounds to interest to you, please contact Dr. Maria Trejo,
Administrator, Even Start Office, California Department of Education, 1430 N Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814.
Additionally, Judy Fisch, Director of Kawia Indian Education Center, P.O. Box
39, Redwood Valley, CA 95470 might be interested, as she helped establish a
credit bearing course for one group of Native American paraprofessionals.
Dr Trejo's e mail is:mtrejo at cde.ca.gov
Ms. Fisch's is: coyotelc at pacific.net
Please contact me if I may be of further assistance at dmark916 at aol.com
Best wishes on your endeavor
