$1.1 Million Grant Awarded - Dr's. Marilyn Wilson & Hong Ni

Dr's. Marilyn Wilson and Hong Ni of Psychology were awarded a $1.1 million personnel preparation training grant from the Department of Education/Office of Special Education.
Project TRAIN: Tools to Reach Adolescents and Children in High Need will prepare preservice school psychologists with the skills and knowledge to support children and adolescents with disabilities. Ten candidates will be accepted per year for the three-year program, culminating in the Ed.S. degree and Pupil Personnel Credential in School Psychology. This is a five-year grant, with sixty-six percent of annual funding designated for graduate student support.
With the focus on high need, the training project will target elementary children for early intervention who are migrant or new immigrants and achieving far below grade level. At the secondary level the project will focus on knowledge and implementation of interventions with students who are incarcerated, in foster care or continuation programs, many of whom are at risk of not graduating. LEA partners provide opportunities for field placements with students who are new immigrants, migrant, foster youth, or in alternative education/juvenile justice system.
