Report on the Role of Higher Education in Enhancing Cooperation with the Public Schools in Maryland.
Maryland State Board for Higher Education, Annapolis.
The potential for college-public school partnerships and issues of faculty workload, incentives, and rewards were assessed by an advisory task force. Six areas of possible cooperation were identified: responding to teacher shortages, improving the transition to college, providing tutoring and other volunteer services to public school students, offering faculty exchange programs, using college personnel to promote staff development in the public schools, and providing college speaker's bureaus. The Task Force developed "The Faculty Alliance Project--An Action Plan," which emphasized the total continuum of education and the importance of interaction among college and public school staff. The following project concepts were considered: regional teacher training centers in science and mathematics, release time arrangements for college faculty and public school teachers, miniconferences for curriculum development, joint teacher education/staff development appointments in rural areas, teaching high school students subjects not typically in the curriculum using college faculty and/or graduate students, and volunteer tutoring programs staffed by college students for remedial and talented and gifted public school students. Appendices include more than 100 examples of cooperative college/public school arrangements. (SW)
