Directors of Curriculum Materials Centers from 15 public and private colleges and universities met June 19 for their biannual meeting at the School of Education. Laura Williams, director of Elon’s Curriculum Resource Center, hosted the meeting of the North Carolina CMC Association.
A major focus of the meeting was the exchange of innovative solutions for making the most of available funding. How state budget cuts will affect P-12 textbook adoptions was also addressed. The association will meet again in the fall at UNC-Charlotte.
The tools for teaching effectively in P-12 schools now go considerably beyond the print textbook of decades past. Providing Elon’s teacher candidates with the best and most current resources available is a primary objective of the curriculum material centers at Elon as well as all of North Carolina’s colleges and universities where teachers are prepared.
