AMERICA 2000:Making Inroads to the Backroads

This proposal builds upon existing connectivity among Concordia and Catahoula Parish (County) School Boards, the number-one ranked Macon Ridge Enterprise Community, and the Louisiana Department of Education and establishes new partnerships. The goal is to expand an existing Trainer of Trainers professional development model to other poor, rural school systems in order to enhance student learning opportunities in real world applications of challenging new Louisiana content and performance standards in English/language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. The project will scale up existing electronic capabilities to establish technology-rich classrooms and interdisciplinary learning centers for grades 6-12 in 25 project schools.
