upon completion of field testing and final revisions, the units will be prepared for printing and distribution. the original group of 24 teacher participants will be the first to receive notebooks containing printed copies of the final curriculum products. each of the teacher participants will receive a computer disc with a power point presentation to support peer mentoring and sharing at their home-based school. to accommodate teachers at other partner schools, the center staff will plan and deliver in-service offerings to assist with the “roll-out” of the newly created units.

a quantity of printed curriculum units and units on compact discs will be made available to the south carolina department of education along with the power point presentation for statewide dissemination. the center will provide technical assistance, when requested, to department of education personnel wishing to learn how to implement the units at public and private schools.

some of the consultant faculty will submit articles about the project for publication. the center director will be available to make presentations relative to the project at regional and national conferences. all media announcements, public information, and promotional materials pertaining to these funded activities will acknowledge support of the south carolina commission on higher education under the auspices of the federal improving teacher quality higher education grant program.
