Helping Students Succeed from Community College to University Programs

该项目正在建立Sisseton-Wahpeton社区学院（SWCC）和北方州立大学（NSU）之间的伙伴关系，使美国原住民和其他地区的学生能够在无需离开该地区的情况下获得小学和中学教育的学士学位。学生从SWCC获得准专业学位，然后在教室里工作，同时完成学士学位。他们在保留地完成学士学位课程。该项目基于一个七点计划：1）与北方州立大学制定衔接协议，由北方国立大学提供保留地大部分三年级和四年级教育课程。2）设立一个学位，培训在使用技术作为教学辅助方面具有专门知识的专业人员。3）培训在职教师。4）以指导和确保资金的形式为学生提供支持。5）提高学生的数学能力。6）招募学生创建一个自我维持的方案。7）创建一个邮件列表服务器，使所有部落学院都能方便地相互联系。

This project is creating a partnership between Sisseton-Wahpeton Community College (SWCC) and Northern State University (NSU) that allows Native American and other area students to receive their bachelor's degrees in elementary and middle school education without having to leave the area. The students receive a paraprofessional degree from SWCC and then work in the classrooms while completing their bachelor's degree. They complete the program for their bachelor's degree while on the reservation. The project is based on a seven-point plan:1) Development of an articulation agreement with Northern State University whereby NSU delivers most of the third and fourth year level educational classes on the reservation.2) Creation of a degree that trains papaprofessionals who have expertise in the use of technology as a teaching aid.3) Training of in-service instructors.4) Offering support for students in the form of mentoring and securing finances.5) Raising students' mathematics proficiency.6) Recruitment of students to create a self-sustaining program.7) Creation of a listserv that gives all tribal colleges easy access to each other.
