Two questionnaires elicited information on state provisions and policies related to multicultural education and on multicultural activities in state departments of education in 1977. The data provided a descriptive profile of state education agency (SEA) activities in equal educational opportunities, human or intergroup relations, bilingual education, desegregation, urban education, compensatory education, ethnic studies, teacher certification, and women's studies. Among the findings were that thirty-four states address multicultural education through legislation, regulation, guidelines, or policies. Most states indicated that activities related to multicultural education are undertaken by units that are usually federally supported in the SEA, such as those responsible for equal education opportunity, teacher certification and education, and bilingual education. It was also found that the approach to multicultural education taken by SEAs often excludes people who are not members of specific categories of eligibility while the state provisions focus on teaching about cultural diversity to all students. Three appendices contain the state regulations and policies related to multicultural education and a bibliography of multicultural education resources from the SEAs. (FG)

Objective: To develop a model for clinical education in athletic training education based on integration of various allied health professional clinical education models. Background: Clinical education is a critical component of allied health education programs. It allows for the transfer of knowledge and skills from classroom to practical application. Clinical education needs to be structured. In addition the Clinical Instructor (CI) also needs to facilitate athletic training students' development into effective, evidence-based practitioners. Description: A brief discussion on the need for transfer of knowledge in athletic training education is discussed. A review of the various clinical education models from allied health professional education is presented. Finally, a model for athletic training clinical education is presented with implications for practice. Clinical Advantages: As athletic training education continues to develop, a need to formalize clinical education and develop a clinical education model for athletic training is warranted. Focusing on the structure and function of clinical education will continue to move athletic training education forward and will align athletic training education with other allied health professional education programs.
