<DIV>We always say that a PhD is someone who is recognized by others as having expert knowledge in a given area and that first language fluent speakers have an expert knowledge in the area of their language and should be compensated at the rate a PhD would receive, whenever possible.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for the quick responses, and to Jon Reyhner, thanks too, but this is for a local tribal school using bilingual educ funds, not grant funds; also we do have a compensation rate for elder consultants from our cultural advisory board for such things and travel, etc, which is a little different, but this would be an ongoing project that we have never tried before and the request was for me to obtain an estimate of the hourly rate or possible overall contract rate for a certain period of time that they want to use soon (education is MA, PhD Cand. level in relevant discipline), experience in university Apache lang and other Amer Ind topics teaching. </DIV>

<DIV>Also, in some cases (like the Menominee and Potawatomi in Wisconsin), tribes have set their own, required rates for the payment of elders.<SPAN class=HOEnZb><FONT color=#888888>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi Bernadette,
<DIV>In my experience, the going rate in this situation tends to be the equivalent of what the teachers would be getting. It's hard to give an exact figure but a rate like this gives recognition that the language worker has educational skills which complement those of the teachers.</DIV>

<DIV>Requesting info/suggestions on what is the going rate of pay that is generally used to compensate an older, educated person fluent and literate in their native language, cultural competent that will be utilized as a paid consultant to collaborate with local teachers in schools to develop bilingual/bicultural curriculum for students. If preferred, I can be contacted at following email address: <A href="" target=_blank ?http: http: mailto:bernisantamaria@gmail.com???>bernisantamaria@gmail.com</A></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for any info provided.</DIV>
