Online Education for Native students

[Jan Tucker]

Dorthy, I thought I'd replied to you directly, but I see I have an unanswered email. I've added you to the list, I hope that is ok. Let me know if it's a problem. I appreciate your offer to help. I'm hoping to form a network of individuals willing to help put this idea into action. 

Thanks for your interest and the references who I've contacted.

  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
