American Indian Education Professional Development Workshop (AIEPDW) “The American Indian Education Professional Development Workshop as taught by Dr. Martin Reinhardt is the most comprehensive workshops on Indian Education and Indian law that I’ve ever attended. I believe that this workshop is necessary for not only people within Indian Education, but any educator who has contact with American Indian students or teaches about American Indian people. The information I gleaned from this workshop helped me become a better educator as well as a more knowledgeable resource on Indian Education and Indian law for my school district.” Jason Firestone, Indian Education Program Coordinator, Jefferson County Public Schools Consultation on American Indian Education "Dr. Martin Reinhardt has been very helpful to assist with the Utah State American Indian Education Strategic Plan. The services provided have been outstanding with great results. The personnel have been excited about the outcomes and leave with greater appreciation for the educational process. Also, the administration has been satisfied with the overall results. Dr. Martin is very passionate and knowledgeable and has given our agency an outstanding plan that is relevant and goals that are challenging and yet attainable."

Its goals are to reduce and prevent bullying problems among school children and to improve peer relations at school. The program has been found to reduce bullying among children, improve the social climate of classrooms, and reduce related antisocial behaviors, such as vandalism and truancy. The Olweus Program has been implemented in more than one dozen countries around the world.

Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model (Echevarria, Vogt & Short, 2004) was developed to provide teachers with a well articulated, practical model of sheltered instruction. The SIOP Model is currently used in most of the 50 states and in hundreds of schools across the U.S. as well as in several other countries. The intent of the model is to facilitate high quality instruction for ELLs in content area teaching. The model is based on current knowledge and research-based practices for promoting learning with ELLs. Critical features of high quality instruction for ELLs are embedded within the SIOP Model. The SIOP Model can be viewed as an umbrella under which other programs developed for improving instruction can reside. Administrators and teachers alike are bombarded with new approaches to instruction, reform efforts, and practices that sometimes seem to be in competition with one another. Often what is lacking in schools is coherence, or a plan for pulling together sound practices (Goldenberg, 2004). The SIOP Model is not another "add on" program but rather it is a framework that can bring together a school's instructional program by organizing methods and techniques, and ensuring that effective practices are implemented -- and can be quantified. |

THE PRE-LEGISLATIVE HISTORY OF THE MICHIGAN INDIAN TUITION WAIVER ©1998 Martin J. Reinhardt Abstract: This study focuses on the pre-legislative history of the Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver (MITW). Much of the relevant history for this analysis of Public Act 174, of 1976 (The Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver Act) does not exist in document form, but within oral history. Testimonies from individuals involved in the development of the MITW are recorded, analyzed, and juxtaposed with media accounts to complete the pre-legislative history of the MITW. The main research question explored in depth is: What social and legal factors of the late 1960s and early 1970s influenced the development of the MITW? Included in the narrative are sections that focus on important social and legal considerations in the development of the MITW. This thesis will be useful for legislators and other makers of public policy, especially those involved in the administration of the MITW. -PDF version of complete thesis (individual use) available for $49.95 + tax. -Group use rate of $39.95 + tax available for groups of 10 or more. |
