The Center is the first stattwide, state funded program of its kind in the nation, distinguished by its collaborative effort among higher education institutions, public schools, and business partners. The Center's purpose is to provide technical assistance and long term re-education as school teams begin to reorganize the way they prepare students to live and work in the 21st century. The Center is governed by a 50-member Policy Board and a 14-member Steering Committee, which meets monthly. Dr. Barbara Gottesman, Executive Director of the Center, was selected as a result of a national search and brings an extensive background in leadership development of administrators and teachers, in Effective Schools, and in restructuring. The Center serves as a networking agent for schools and colleges interested in systematic reorganization of rules, roles, and relationships in education. The Associate School program focuses on committed schools who are implementing models of restructuring and innovation and who are willing to share their developing expertise with other schools :rt their districts and in the state. An extensive Resource Library containing the latest books, articles and videotapes about restructuring research and experience is available on loan to all educators. A telephone hotline provides information and research to all who call. The Center has established an extensive electronic mail network so that teachers and administrators can communicate instantly to share research and experience. Restructuring schools and colleges are assessed quarterly to determine the nature of long-term seminar training offered by the Center. On-site technical assistance visits to schools, districts, and colleges keep the Center staff on the road constantly. National scholars, restructuring school teams, and site visits to other states help disseminate restructuring content and skills. Associate Schools are selected from among all South Carolina K-12 schools who have responded to an annual request for proposals. At the present time, the Center works directly with 70 Associate Schools who have pledged their time and efforts toward reorganization for the 21st century. Each Associate School has 3 vertical restructuring team composed of four teachers, two administrators, a community partner, a college partner, a business partner, a district office representative, and others. The teams learn participatory decision making and managing change from the Center-designed training. Each team constructs a vision for the future and involves the entire faculty. College faculty are also brought into the process. In November 1992, 30 Partner Schools were added to the Center's restructuring network. Each one forms a partnership with an existing Associate School. The Center, while housed at Winthrop University, works with all higher education institutions with approved teacher education programs, all of whom are represented on the Center's Policy Board. In addition to its Associate Schools' work, the Center sponsors seminars, institutes, technical assistance, and national scholars with and for higher education faculty. The Center also serves as the coordina tor of the South Carolina Collaborative to Renew Teacher Education. As a result of a joint proposal from the Center and five colleges, John Goodlad selected South Carolina as one of eight national sites to implement his nineteen postulates for the renewal of teacher education. The Center coordinates the state's efforts in collaboration with Dr. Goodlad, the Education Commission of the States, and a statewide advisory group headed by South Carolina State Superintendent Barbara Nielsen. Professional development schools, reformed teacher education curriculum, cultural diversity, and rewards for part- nerships are the four focus areas. Professional development schools have been established through 20 colleges,and nine other colleges are pursuing the Goodlad agenda. The Center collaborates with all South Carolina education agencies,and with national organizations including the Education Commission of the States, the Center for Leadership in School Reform, the International Harvard Principals Network, the National Governors Association, the National Alliance for Education and the Economy, the Southern Regional Education Board, and the Southeastern Regional Vision for Education (SERVE), the federally supported regional education laboratory. The Center is committed to the concept that school change is a deliberative process that requires time for all school interest groups to develop understanding and ownership. The Center recognizes the importance of systemic, total quality management and believes in a client-centered approach to changethat teachers, parents, administrators, schools boards, college partners, community members and business partners must finally determine for themselves what new structures will best serve the instructional needs of their children who will live and work in the 21st century. The mission of the Center is to assist schools in achieving that vision.
