Collaborative School Improvement and/or Research Projects:  For a number of years, the UNCG Partnership provided funds for Collaborative School Improvement and/or Research Projects. Designed and implemented by university and school, these projects led to informed change in K-12 student achievement. For example, in 2005-06, the projects included

  • Building Inclusive Learning Communities: A K-12 Partnership Model
  • Crossing the Chasms of the Disciplines: Integrating the Secondary School Curriculum at New Century High School with the M & Ms
  • Early Childhood Partnership Project
  • Improving Elementary Science Education at UNCG’s Professional Development Schools in Rockingham County
  • Launching into Space Science: A Collaborative USTEP Project
  • PTEC-UNCG USTEP Project for 2005-2006: Fostering Classroom Action Research among Experienced National Board Certified Teachers in the Piedmont Triad Education Consortium
  • Secondary Teacher Education Program Collaborative (STEPC)

In 2008, the Partnership discontinued individual research projects in order to focus on more systemic collaborations.

 

In 2011, the Partnership is reinstating USTEP grants in partnership with PTEC districts for the purpose of promoting and disseminating innovative, joint professional development, curriculum revision, and/or action research projects.
