The specific goals of this challenge grant are: (1) to provide a comprehensive staff development program that emphasizes follow-up, coaching, and teaching behaviors; (2) to develop and utilize an infrastructure of interactive telecommunication connectivity for student and teacher collaboration; (3) to develop out-reach teaching strategies and materials that will address the disadvantaged and underachieving learner; and (4) to develop a Research, Evaluation, and Design Center that provides state of the art material for teachers. The performance criteria for all goals are simple... do students know more and perform better on state End of Grade tests?
