American Indian Teacher Program Extended The American Indian Research and Development, Inc. (AIRD, Inc) has announced it is extending the application deadline for the American Indian Teacher Training Program (AITTP) to Nov. 7. Scholarship applications must be postmarked or received by AIRD, Inc. by that date to receive consideration by the application review panel. AITTP Project Director, Stuart A. Tonemah, indicated the deadline was warranted to allow more eligible applicants to apply. "...We have a tremendous opportunity available to American Indian teachers in Oklahoma's public and BIA schools to earn a Master's degree at Oklahoma City University (OCU) in one year. This specially designed program is to enhance the knowledge, teaching skills and abilities of selected Indian teachers while having their education paid for by this grant," Tonemah said. The AITTP requires participants to take a leave from their teaching positions for one semester to begin their studies in the OCU spring term, January 2001, and continues through the OCU summer term to August 2001. They then return to their teaching positions and, over the fall term 2001, conduct in-service/professional development activities with their teaching peers. A one-hour seminar completes their studies. They are then eligible to graduate in December 2001. Candidates must successfully pass the OCU Master Degree Comprehensive Examination in the fall 2001 term. Tonemah explained that year two of the AITTP is a federally- funded professional development grant from the U.S. Education Department, Office of Indian Education to the AIRD, Inc. in the amount of $246,848 to operate it via the Oklahoma City University. "Selected AITTP participants will receive full tuition, a monthly living stipend, dependent stipend and a yearly book allowance for their year of study," Tonemah said. Eligible candidates for the AITTP are: American Indian teachers in Oklahoma schools who are certified and who do not have a master's degree. AITTP participants must sign a payback agreement with the federal government in which they agree to work at least one year in schools with significant numbers of Indian students or payback in cash the amount received for their master's degree.
