Big Horn Teacher and Personnel/Career Ladder Projects:
Dr. Barfield worked with two
Title VII teacher training grants funded through the Office of English
Language Acquisition (OELA) in the U.S. Department
of Education. These grants included collaboration between Montana State
University - Billings, Little Big Horn College, and five school districts
on or near the Crow Reservation. The major goals of these grants were to
increase the number of Native American certified teachers, provide
services on multiculturalism/bilingualism/Crow culture to staff in the
five school districts, provide week-long Native American Summer Institutes
in July, and integrate Multiculturalism/bilingualism/Crow culture into
general and teacher education courses ant MSU-B and LBHC.
