The Center for Indian Bilingual Teacher Education at Prescott College was created by Dr. Annabelle Nelson in 1988. Endorsements are available in Special Education, English as a Second Language, and Bilingual Education. Students who already possess a Bachelor or Masters degree can enroll as a special student and complete the requirements for teacher certification. All Prescott College Teacher Education programs are approved by the Arizona State Department of Education.
Students are able to keep their jobs and maintain family and cultural ties while pursuing degrees.
Students tailor their education curriculum and make it a personalized, individualized, and self-directed learning experience. Students are required to have a minimum of 30 semester credits of prior college work from a regionally accredited institution. ADP helps to serve the need of Native American people to be in control of their own educational destiny. Refer to the ADP pages for program structure, requirements, and curriculum.
