Recruitment and Preparation of Personnel Qualified To Serve Young Children with Disabilities. Final Performance Report.
Rule, Sarah
This final report describes the activities and outcomes of a federally funded program that was developed to increase the supply of early childhood special educators in Utah and surrounding regions and to enhance the quality of their preparation. The project prepared 67 students for preschool special education certification and 40 related service personnel for transdisciplinary service. The project focused on improved recruitment practices intended to attract and support students from diverse cultures and from rural areas. A dual major in early childhood and early childhood special education was developed to improve the interdisciplinary preparation of students. The report is organized according to the nine objectives of the project and their outcomes. Four appendices describe; (1) the Early Childhood Special Education Dual Major Program; (2) the project timeline; (3) the Bachelor's degree and certification requirements; and (4) Master's program requirements.
