SC International Education Consortium - Doc1 What is the south carolina International education Consortium? Faculty/staffdevelopment. To provide faculty/staff curriculum development opportunities http://www.octech.org/sciec/doc1.htm
Extractions: Funded by the Second Title VI-A Grant Purpose: The consortium was founded five years ago by 10 of the sixteen technical colleges in South Carolina to provide a broad framework within which its members will promote activities, programs and resources to increase international awareness and opportunities for their constituents through faculty/staff development, curriculum development, student activities/programs, and community outreach and partnerships. Membership has expanded to include 14 of the technical colleges. Rationale: Within recent years, global interdependence has become increasingly obvious. Isolated nations no longer exist, but are now influenced by an international network of closely related economic, cultural and environmental concerns. More than at any point in history, individuals around the world are affected by the same forces, the same problems, the same changes. While this environment is exhilarating, many Americans do not have the background to comprehend and function effectively in this extraordinary new world. Institutions of higher education have therefore begun to realize that they must provide strong international education programs if Americans are to acquire the skills and understanding mandated by an international marketplace.

Regional coaches, a state department liaison and a university faculty member provided ongoing support. This Initiative was a three-way partnership among the South Carolina State Department of Education, the National Council of Teachers of English, and the University of South Carolina. An OERI research grant is funding a 3-year analysis of the project's impact.
