ITEP is interested in pursuing this academic credit option for our workshop courses because it is often requested by the tribal professionals we serve. It is considered a means for obtaining professional development recognition beyond the simple Continuing Education Units (CEUs) that are currently offered. As tribes are becoming more involved in regional and national fora related to air quality management, monitoring, and regulations, university credit is a more appropriate recognition of the academic nature of their work.

Course Philosophy As a cooperative effort between Northern Arizona University and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the American Indian Air Quality Training Program seeks to fulfill the mandate of the 1990 Clean Air Act to offer Native American tribes full partnership in the management of air quality on tribal lands. It is also recognized that any training program provided to Native Americans must be sensitive to their cultural heritage. Course Description This is a course for tribal air quality program managers and technical personnel. The course provides an overview of the administrative and management skills needed to operate a tribal air quality program and manage grants. Student Learning Expectations/Outcomes for this Course This course will help professional tribal air quality staff successfully operate their programs.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT Membership in the academic community places a special obligation on all members to preserve an atmosphere conducive to a safe and positive learning environment. Part of that obligation implies the responsibility of each member of the NAU community to maintain an environment in which the behavior of any individual is not disruptive. It is the responsibility of each student to behave in a manner which does not interrupt or disrupt the delivery of education by faculty members or receipt of education by students, within or outside the classroom. The determination of whether such interruption or disruption has occurred has to be made by the faculty member at the time the behavior occurs. It becomes the responsibility of the individual faculty member to maintain and enforce the standards of behavior acceptable to preserving an atmosphere for teaching and learning in accordance with University regulations and the course syllabus. At a minimum, students will be warned if their behavior is evaluated by the faculty member as disruptive. Serious disruptions, as determined by the faculty member, may result in immediate removal of the student from the instructional environment. Significant and/or continued violations may result in an administrative withdrawal from the class. Additional responses by the faculty member to disruptive behavior may include a range of actions from discussing the disruptive behavior with the student to referral to the appropriate academic unit and/or the Office of Student Life for administrative review, with a view to implement corrective action up to and including suspension or expulsion.

Course Prerequisites ITEP air quality training courses Introduction to Tribal Air Quality and Air Quality Computations, or equivalent training or experience. Course PhilosophyAs a cooperative effort between Northern Arizona University and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the American Indian Air Quality Training Program seeks to fulfill the mandate of the 1990 Clean Air Act to offer Native American tribes full partnership in the management of air quality on tribal lands. It is also recognized that any training program provided to Native Americans must be sensitive to their cultural heritage.

Course Description This course is designed for tribal air quality program managers and technical personnel. It is intended to provide a deeper understanding of air pollution, particularly its sources, transport, and control. This training course provides a basic overview of the science of air pollution and the techniques of air quality management. It is recommended for tribal staff who have taken ITEP's "Introduction to Tribal Air Quality” and “Air Quality Computations” courses or who have background in science or engineering. Course topics include: emissions inventory, basic statistics & data analysis, air pollution meteorology, air pollution sources & controls, sampling & monitoring, dispersion modeling and information resources. This is a rigorous, technical course.

Student Learning Expectations/Outcomes for this Course This course will help professional tribal air quality staff function better in their jobs. This course will provide a bridge to ITEP’s Level 3 specialty courses. This course will better prepare tribal air quality staff to play a role in local, regional and national air quality initiatives. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Characterize the types of air pollutants that are of primary concern to tribes. 2. Identify a variety of methods for measuring the concentration of ambient air pollutants. 3. Compare/contrast methods of assessing ambient air quality including emissions inventory,

monitoring, and modeling. 4. Describe concepts related to data management. 5. Use basic statistics as a tool for data analysis. 6. Associate meteorological conditions with air quality. 7. Use the internet as a resource for obtaining up-to-date information on technical and regulatory
