$4.37 Million in Grants Awarded for Training Highly Qualified Personnel in Special Education

From Education Newsfeed:

The U.S. Department of Education today announced the award of $4.37 million in grants to universities in 14 states to help train doctoral, post-doctoral and other graduate students to work with children with disabilities.

Under the Preparation of Leadership Program, the grants will help children with disabilities by training doctoral and post-doctoral students in early intervention, special education or related services.

Some money will also be used to prepare master's degree students for special education administration and supervision.

"We hope to build a corps of highly qualified personnel to help children with disabilities reach their academic potential," said U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings.

"Research has consistently suggested that there is a persistent need for additional special education and related services personnel who have been trained at the doctoral and post-doctoral levels.

These experts can play a critical role in improving the quality of services for children with disabilities and their families."

The grants average about $190,000 for the first year of what is scheduled to be four-year projects.
