Office of Education to serve as the training center and fiscal agent for a network of Southeastern colleges and universities involved in Teacher Corps programs. A grant of $76,000 has been awarded to WCU to fund the center. The grant was awarded on the basis of a proposal by Dr. J. Michael Davis, WCU professor of education and the developer of the new program. The WCU center will operate the "Southeastern Network," one of ten regions organized by the U. S. Office of Education to coordinate all Teacher Corps and related programs in the nation. Twelve universities and colleges will be a part of the Southeastern program. In addition to WCU, they are the University of South Alabama, the Atlanta Consortium of Universities, the University of Florida, George Peabody College for Teachers, Jackson State University, Memphis State University, Miles College, the University of Southern Mississippi, Pikeville College, the University of South Carolina, and Western Kentucky University. All activities in the Southeastern region will be coordinated by Western Carolina, according to Davis. The southeastern network is designed to provide "resources, strategies, and personnel in competency- based teacher education and individualized instruction" to the universities and colleges that have Teacher Corps programs, he said. Each of the member in stitutions has identified its major educational needs in such areas as communications, change strategies, diagnostic- prescriptive learning, field-based in-service training and community involvement. Special task forces composed of professional personnel and educational resources will be appointed to work with the faculty of each member institution. These task forces, Davis said, will prescribe, implement and evaluate a variety of training activities at each institution. Workshops, symposiums, visitations, conferences, research, and dissemination activities will be sponsored throughout the region through WCU. Major emphasis, Davis said, will be placed on conducting effective in-service training for faculty members an'd public school personnel. Dr. Arthur Justice, associate professor of education at WCU, will serve as the network coordinator for the project.
