Continued interest in language words and phrases frorr
within and outside the Warm Springs area.
Staff continuing their schooling to get degrees toward
teacher certification.
Negative Trends:
Still no involvement or interest by parents, role
models, employees, management, and others for learning the
language of choice to support what the children are learning.
Language Teacher development very limited due to
the moneys not being available to bring in new and more
people for the languages.
Lack of language resource people to fill in as substi
tutes for Warm Springs languages
