Integration of Bilingual Emphasis Program into University Curriculum. Multiple Subjects Credential Program: Hupa, Yurok, Karuk, or Tolowa Emphasis.
Bennett, Ruth
A description of the American Indian Bilingual Teacher Credential Program offered by Humboldt State University (California) provides background information on the linguistic groups served by the program. Accompanying the program descriptions are lists of lower and upper division requirements, descriptions of competency exam, program schedule, course descriptions, and student and fieldwork information and evaluation forms. The linguistic groups served include four tribes of northwestern California and southern Oregon--Hupa, Yurok, Karuk, and Tolowa. A map locates traditional tribal lands; charts provide recent population data and list public schools in the area with language of instruction and student population. Descriptions of ancestral languages and cultural characteristics emphasize basic similarities and differences of importance to education. A follow-up of 2 program graduates and data on 10 persons who have been in the program are included. (LFL)
