Developing a Personnel Training Model for Meeting the Needs of Handicapped and At-Risk Language-Minority Students

Abstract

In the last decade educators have begun to focus upon serving students who are limited in English proficiency and have special learning needs. Policy makers and administrators planning appropriate educational programs for these students find a critical lack of school personnel trained to assist them. The University of Florida has developed a model for bilingual/English as a second language (ESL) special education training at the graduate and undergraduate levels. This model, INFUSION, is a collaborative research-based model of training. Strengths of this integrative model are presented, along with a description of the process by which bilingual/ESL components are infused into special education curriculum. Four new graduate-level courses specific to this field are described.
