Through an Administration for Native Americans (ANA) grant, The Kumisión developed a certificate program to strengthen the teaching of CHamoru as a second language through immersion techniques. ‬The certificate program consisted of 12-credit hours of coursework in direct response to professional development needs identified by our partners Chief Hurao Academy‭, ‬University of Guam (UOG)‭, ‬Guam Community College‭ (GCC), and ‬Guam Department of Education’s (GDOE) CSSP‭/Faneyåkan. Classes were held at GCC. The grant funded 60 scholarships for four cohorts of teachers. Additional funding is being sought to continue and expand the certificate program.
