The Virginia Statewide Program To Endorse Teachers in Severe and Profound Handicaps was a 5-year personnel preparation project which selected and trained teachers currently unendorsed but employed to teach students with severe disabilities in schools across Virginia. Participating universities included the University of Virginia (UVA), George Mason University, and Virginia Commonwealth University, with Virginia Polytechnical Institute offering practica. The endorsement program consisted of 15 hours of graduate credit, taken primarily on a non-degree inservice basis while teachers continued teaching. Participating teachers took the bulk of their coursework near their place of employment, earned practicum credits where they worked, and attended a summer institute held at UVA. Master teachers from three of Virginia's Technical Assistance Centers in Severe Disabilities assisted in the monitoring of trainees in their classrooms as they designed and implemented practicum activities. Approximately 75 teachers participated in at least one course; 61 of the 75 completed most or all of the project requirements, and 50 of them successfully met the endorsement requirements. This report describes project goals and objectives; the project's conceptual framework; training model, activities, and participants; and evaluation findings. Appendices include a timeline of objectives, activities, and accomplishments; a trainee survey; and a faculty and staff survey questionnaire. (JDD)
