NCCREStpart of the Education Reform NetworksProject Bridge: Preparing African-American Teachers To Work with Young Children with Disabilities and Their Families. Final ReportThis final report describes the activities and outcomes of a federally funded project that was designed to prepare African-American students at the graduate level as teachers in Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), who would be capable of meeting the special education needs of young children with disabilities, ages birth through five, and their families. The project was specifically designed to assist in alleviating chronic shortages of teachers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds teaching children from similar backgrounds, in Florida and particularly in Miami-Dade County. The program was interdisciplinary in nature and included education in typical and atypical child development, working with families, early childhood curricula, assessment and intervention with young children with disabilities, and working with minority children with disabilities in an urban, multicultural setting. The report describes: (1) recruitment strategies used by the program to attract African-American students; (2) advising, financial and administrative support given to the students during their course of study; (3) coursework and internship experiences offered by the program; (4) program evaluation methods and results; and (5) suggestions for improvement.
