For too many local students, though, the cost of the four-year degree necessary to become a teacher is too great, despite the attractive wages and benefits packages available in the profession. Now, students who aspire to become teachers right here at home in Lincoln County have a new pathway to follow to achieve their dream. Thanks to a grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust and through partner- ships with the Lincoln County School District, Western Oregon University and Tillamook Bay Community Col- lege, Oregon Coast Community College is launching a new teacher education program this fall. The announcement follows the rev- elation last spring that fall 2018 would also see the launch of OCCC’s first early childhood education degree and certifi- cate programs. “Ever since I came to Oregon Coast Community College four years ago,” said Birgitte Ryslinge, president of OCCC, “I’ve heard from county residents, employers and agencies asking for bet- ter, more affordable and more accessible teaching and early childhood education degrees and certificates. I’m so pleased that, after a great deal of work, we’re able to announce the upcoming launch of this program.” Earn a teaching degree The new program is designed to help Lincoln County “grow its own” teach- 477 Self-Sufficiency plan open for review and public comment The 477 Self-Sufficiency Pro- gram Plan is open for public com- ment from June 1 to July 16, 2018. The plan is available on the Tribal website (ctsi.nsn.us), lobby of each area office or by contacting Kurtis Barker, 477-SSP director. The plan provides a broad over- view of how the program will operate for years 2019-2021. Please submit written comments to Kurtis Barker at kurtisb@ctsi.nsn. us or by fax at 541-444-8334. ers by supporting local students as they work toward their teaching degrees and assisting them in student teaching and eventual full-time job placement here in Lincoln County. The goal is to help the school district recruit and retain teachers who are famil- iar with and grounded in Lincoln County and, through targeted outreach to under- represented populations, help increase the diversity of teachers in K-12 classrooms to better reflect the demographics of the student population. “Through this program, students will be able to earn the first two years of a West- ern Oregon University bachelor’s degree in education by earning an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree (AAOT) here at OCCC,” said Dan Lara, OCCC’s dean of academics and workforce. In the third year of the program, stu- dents will transition to Western Oregon, where they will study for an academic year. In the fourth and final year of the program, students achieving minimum performance standards will be placed into student teaching positions by the Lincoln County School District while they continue remaining WOU courses online. Upon graduation and certification by the state, program participants will receive preferential consideration for open teach- ing positions in the school district. “By saving on tuition and housing by earning the first two years of this degree via the AAOT and by requiring only one academic year away in Monmouth to attend WOU, this program slashes the costs one would traditionally expect for a General Welfare Exclusion Housing Rehabilitation Program Formerly Over-Income Rehabilitation Grant The Over-Income Rehabilitation Construction program funds over-income families with a $10,000 grant for construction rehabilitation on the primary residence they own. The over-income grant is for eligible applicants and is limited to one grant per person/address/household. If you have already received a General Welfare Exclusion Housing Rehabilitation Grant, you are not eligible to apply. If you have received services for the following programs, you are not eligible to apply for the General Welfare Exclusion Housing Rehabilitation Grant for five years: Down Payment Assistance, NAHASDA Rehabilitation Program, NAHASDA Elders Replacement Program, NAHASDA Rehabilitation Program for Elder Tribal Members, NAHASDA Rehabilitation Program for Disabled Tribal Members, Homeownership Program/Mutual Help and BIA Self Governance. Rehabilitation refers to repairs or renovations to the home, but does not include appliances, saunas, hot tubs, swimming pools, driveways, fences, etc. Over-income refers to Tribal members whose income exceeds the income limits set by the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA). These are listed below: 1 2 $38,080 $43,520 For more information about the Siletz Tribal language program, please visit siletzlanguage.org. degree like this,” Lara said, adding that some Lincoln County students may be able to arrange schedules so that they can continue living and working at home while commuting to courses at WOU during that third year. “And,” he continued, “the automatic placement into student teaching posi- tions in the fourth year of the program means this could be the quickest way for local residents to launch a brand new, immensely rewarding and financially lucrative career. We’re thankful to the Meyer Memorial Trust for their support in delivering this innovative new option for local students.” The Rural Teacher Education Path- way is available for high school gradu- ates of all ages. Additionally, juniors and seniors in Lincoln County high schools can enroll via dual credit in core courses, further accelerating the program. The Meyer Memorial Trust grant also funded the two-year early childhood development degree and a one-year cer- tificate programs that also launch in fall 2018. Both are designed to provide new career opportunities to county residents while also raising the quality and avail- ability of child care services throughout the county.
