Rocky Mountain Students-to-Teachers Education Program (STEP) for ALL is designed to address the needs of Native American students of the Crow and the Northern Cheyenne Tribes through student-focused teacher prep, STEM and the arts, career exploration, resident and internships, and dual enrollment initiatives that give students an opportunity to learn about and experience different professions, including the teaching profession. Through STEP, students will have an opportunity to learn about different careers and to interact with professionals from a variety of career fields. Native Americans who work in their communities will serve as mentors and role models working side by side with prospective student teachers.

The project will provide educational opportunities that will improve the achievement of Native American students in elementary and secondary schools by accelerating student learning by addressing the literacy and math learning gaps that create barriers to college entrance.
