The Program for Exceptional Children of the University of South Carolina developed a project to address the need for an improved service delivery model for handicapped students in rural South Carolina. The project trained regular elementary teachers at the master's degree level to function as consultants to other regular classroom teachers with the goal of maintaining mild-to-moderate handicapped students in the regular classroom and identifying "at-risk" students. The county demonstration model was selected as the consultation approach. This teacher-consultant model emphasizes the delivery of services to handicapped children through building-level "school demonstration agents." The agents provide systematic and long-range consultation and inservice programs to fellow teachers, rather than relying on outside district specialists. Teacher consultants are given special training in curriculum development and evaluation, formal and informal assessment, behavioral management, and consultation skills, leading to a master's degree in special education. Of 25 initial participants, 14 received degrees and began functioning as consultant teachers. (JDD)
