FREE TUITION AT UNL
Greetings from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln! We hope you are enjoying the warm sunny days of summer.
We have good news for ECSE and Deaf Education teachers in Nebraska. We
ask that you help us get the word out this summer, in time for teachers
to take advantage of this unique learning opportunity.
NDE has agreed to sponsor the Nebraska Early Childhood Deaf Education
Professional Upgrade Partnership (NE-PUP) at UNL. This project intends
to increase the number of highly qualified personnel in Nebraska, where
shortages of deaf education teachers exist and trained ECSE teachers
are in great demand. The Nebraska-funded project would support three
ECSE and three Deaf Education teachers in Nebraska public schools to
complete 10 graduate credits... FREE!!!
Teachers who are recommended by employers/supervisors for advanced
education can enhance their current skills and knowledge with
information related to young children, birth to age 5, who are deaf or
hard of hearing. (Are you seeing a few more children these days with
cochlear implants? Is your deaf education teacher stretched to the max
or limited in experience with infants and preschool-age children? This
project can help.)
Three courses and one year-long seminar/practicum will be completed in
one year through UNL's distance education efforts. The online courses
are complimented with phone and interactive video-conferencing
technologies.
