From Laura.Allran at ode.state.or.us Thu Oct 8 16:08:52 2009 From: Laura.Allran at ode.state.or.us (ALLRAN Laura) Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 16:08:52 -0700 Subject: [SE-Dir] OSL&P: Scholarship for Speech Language Pathology Assistants Message-ID: TO: All District and ESD Special Education Directors The message below is being forwarded to you on behalf of: Nancy Latini, PhD Assistant Superintendent Student Learning & Partnerships ______________________________________________ October 8, 2009 RE: Scholarship Opportunities for Students Who Enroll in Speech Language Pathology Assistant Programs At this time, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is recruiting scholarship candidates from districts and ESDs. Scholarship recipients will enroll in the Oregon cohort of the Speech Language Pathologist Assistants program through Chemeketa Community College. During the 2007 Regular Legislative Session, House Bill 3141, Section 19 (12), was passed by the 74th Oregon Legislative Assembly. Each biennium, the Department of education may expend up to $150,000 from the State School Fund for the administration of a program to increase the number of speech-language pathologists and speech-language pathology assistants under sections 21 to 25 of this 2007 Act. Through HB 3141 funding, forty-two (42) Oregon educators have already been awarded scholarships for further education in Speech Language Pathology, a field identified with a severe shortage of professionals. These forty-two speech language pathologists and speech language pathology assistants are currently working in Oregon school districts and, at the same time, are in professional development programs which will result in appropriate professional certification. Districts/ESDs from across the state are involved with the SLP and SLPA cohort programs, and many of the districts are located in rural portions of the state. Even before the cohort members have completed their programs in SLPA, the members are sharing their newly-honed skills in Oregon schools. We are anxious to begin an additional Oregon cohort, and invite your district or ESD to apply. The deadline of November 1, 2009, is quickly approaching. The SLPA program begins in January 2010.
