A nearly $1 million grant from the US Department of Education will support a four year project to increase the number of well-trained K-12 principals for schools on American Indian reservations. The money will go to Northern Arizona University's “principal certificate” program.
The objective of the program is to add 25 K-12 principals by 2012 to serve in schools on the Navajo Nation, Hopi, San Carlos Apache and White Mountain reservations.
The program is open to qualified American Indian teachers, who will have their college tuition and associated fees paid. Classes will be provided through NAU’s Extended Campuses. Interested candidates should begin by providing a nomination letter from their school principals and superintendents describing their potential to be in the certificate program.
