Consider the Distributive Learning
in Teacher Education (DLiTE) Program at Bemidji State University's Center for
Extended Learning. According to the Department of Education, 90 million adult
Americans returned to the classroom in 1999, up from the 58 million reported
in 1991. Bemidji State University, located in Bemidji, Minnesota, responded
to that need and with the help of other stakeholders, developed a K-8 elementary
education program designed specifically for rural students and urban students
who for various reasons cannot attend a campus-based teacher education program.
The program allows a flexible delivery system that will accommodate future growth
and technology enhancements. You can find more information at the DLiTE
Program web site.
