French, Laurence Armand; Rodriguez, Richard F.
Rural Special Education Quarterly, v17 n3-4 p11-17 Sum-Fall 1998
New Mexico ranks high in youth violence, substance abuse, poverty, teen pregnancies, and school dropout rates. In response, Western New Mexico University developed a special master's program in bilingual special education, attended primarily by minority-group school personnel, and implemented a program to address the cycle of poverty by training undereducated rural Mexican American women.
