Community Education Resources Infusion Module for K-12 Instructors.

Overview & Synopsis

This module was developed to help preservice and inservice teachers understand the rationale behind the community education movement, its development in North Carolina, and how to infuse at least one of its components (use of community resources) into classroom instruction. The module consists of three units. The first unit is designed to help teachers gain an understanding of some of the major crises in public education. The second unit explains the community education movement in North Carolina and lists the major facilitators who can help classroom instructors. The final unit deals with the actual infusion of community education resources into a classroom lesson. Scattered throughout the module are learner activities for students/teachers to complete and mail for evaluation. Extensive appendixes list community education resources and provide forms to be used in developing community education activities. (KC)
