For each year in the project participants will successfully complete at least 9 credit hours of coursework leading to a Bilingual or ESL Endorsement and an M. Ed. in Bilingual Multicultural Education in good academic standing. After three years in the program participants will have completed an M.Ed. or requested a leave of absence which includes a plan for tuition support and a timeline for coursework completion.

The number of teachers in each of the seven consortium schools certified for bilingual, English as a Second Language and Navajo as a Foreign Language will be calculated annually. In each district the personnel director will be responsible for updating teaching certificates. For each year in the project the number of Bilingual, English as a Second Language and Navajo as a Foreign Language endorsements will increase by 10%.

At the end of each year an assessment survey will be conducted to assure and to evaluate the performance of teachers regarding the implementation and methods of the Navajo language curriculum. This assessment survey will be administered by the Project Director to Mentor Teachers, Bilingual Master's Fellows and consortium site principals. At the end of year one this survey will be used to re-evaluate project activities

An External Evaluator will provide the Secretary of Education with an evaluation of the Learn in Beauty Bilingual Teacher Project every two years. Course evaluations and information from the BME exit survey, an oral interview administered to all students completing a graduate or undergraduate degree, will be used to inform the project. The Center for Excellence in Education at Northern Arizona University will use the evaluation for program improvement, to further define the program's purposes, and to determine program effectiveness.
