| FMU Center of Excellence Partner Districts Partner Districts are intimately involved with, and contribute to, the activities of the Center. Administrators and teachers of the Partner Districts work hand-in-glove with FMU faculty to determine how best to prepare teachers, initially and continually, to teach children of poverty. Three Partner Districts were identified at the outset of Grant Year 1 (2004-2005). These Partner Districts each contributed $5000 toward the operation and activities of the Center of Excellence. Several Pee Dee Region School Districts requested the opportunity to join with the Center of Excellence as Partner Districts during Grant Year 2 (2005-2006). Four additional school districts, for a total of seven districts, joined the Center of Excellence as Partners. A sliding scale based on the number of K-8 teachers in the district, was used to determine Partner District fees. These costs were assessed as follows: $7500 (100 or fewer K-8 teachers), $10,000 (100-300 K-8 teachers); $12,500 (300 or more K-8 teachers). Partner districts are each represented by an outstanding teacher that serves with the Center in the capacity of Clinical Faculty. Clinical Faculty must hold at least a maser's degree and must have a minimum of five years of teaching experience. Clinical Faculty position announcements are released annually, and final selections are announced by July 1. These Partner District representatives serve a twelve month term beginning August 1, and receive a $3000 honorarium for service. Partner districts are also represented by an upper level administrative officer. These representatives serve as the designated contact for the district. (click link to view list) |
