BoardHigher Ed Program First Friday Chat
The discussion centered on new federal and state grant-funded opportunities for tribal members and school employees to pursue bachelor's degrees in early childhood education and elementary/special education. Key topics included the application and admission process for Arizona State University (ASU), the requirements for tuition funding through the Arizona Teachers Academy and Department of Indian Education, and the commitment to payback service in schools with high populations of American Indian students. Additionally, the meeting introduced 'nano courses' as part of an extended kin network training program designed to provide flexible, stackable professional development for those working with children.
