Through this planning grant, steps are being taken to develop the framework for the Pipeline for Excellent Rural Teachers (PERT) program that will train and support both Teaching Fellows and Master Teaching Fellows. It is anticipated that the partnership that emerges through this planning grant will include several tribal high schools and colleges in the region. Due to the large geographic area for the anticipated partnership, Fellows will be supported by an online mentoring program that will be based on previous successful models for mentoring in rural communities. The planning activities are beginning with a needs assessment survey to determine the level of interest in the region for the program and the expected outcomes. A partnership with the North Dakota Association of Tribal Colleges is also being fostered during the planning period. The educational curriculum for professional development of Master teachers is being designed, drawing on existing courses and structures where appropriate and a current master's degree program is being restructured to accommodate the needs of the Teaching Fellows. Other planning activities include identification of sources of university cost share, development and field-testing of an online mentoring system, and development of a recruitment plan for the Fellows.

通过这项计划赠款，正在采取步骤为优秀的农村教师（PERT）计划开发框架，该计划将培训和支持教学研究员和大师教学研究员。预计通过该计划赠款建立的伙伴关系将包括该地区的几所部落高中和大学。由于预期合作伙伴关系的地理区域较大，研究员将得到一项在线指导计划的支持，该计划将基于以前成功的农村社区指导模型。计划活动始于需求评估调查，以确定该计划和预期结果的兴趣水平。在计划期间，与北达科他州部落学院协会建立了合作伙伴关系。设计了硕士教师专业发展的教育课程，正在设计合适的现有课程和结构，而当前的硕士学位课程正在重组以满足教学研究员的需求。其他计划活动包括确定大学成本份额的来源，在线指导系统的开发和现场测试以及为研究员制定招聘计划。
