B. Participating PGP schools have agreed to provide half an hour of time, weekly, for PGP teachers to meet with "Roll-Out" teachers for structured dialogue about teaching strategies and the Internet course work. In addition, these meetings will occur on two half days during the school year.

3. Pilot School Teachers
 A. Six teachers who were part of last year's "Targeted" grant, and received training to create learner centered classrooms, will continue with the project, this year, each with a specific area of focus:
 

  Carol Amberg will prepare 12th grade world literature students for national and state assessments through an internet course with students in India, in which students in each country learn by teaching the other students that which they need to know to pass standardized assessments. Ms. Amberg spent a week, this summer, designing the curriculum with teachers brought to the United States by the Jiva Institute of India.
  Mark Manske, a biology teacher at Brasher Falls, will continue to demonstrate how he can use learner centered strategies to prepare two classes of students for Regents Biology.
  Laurie Harper, a first grade teacher at Brasher Falls, will demonstrate how she can teach literacy through a learner centered/standards focused classroom.
  Linda Dimino and Sonya Montique are teachers in the ALPS program, Far Rockaway, New York, which focuses on outward bound concepts of learning and they are preparing ALPS, in coordination with New Visions, to become turnkey trainers of this process within two years.
  A.J. Longware - a Technology  Instructor at Ausable Valley CSD, will continue to  demonstrate how to teach technology and integrate technology into content areas through use of learner centered/standards focused strategies. She will also mentor teachers in the Plattsburgh region who will be learning this process under the auspices of Champlain Valley Educational Services as part of the replication of this learner centered training model.


 B. Two teachers  and the building principal from Carthage Elementary school will be part of the pilot project as the Carthage district seeks to spread the success of this project with Black River Elementary School to the rest of its district, beginning with a second elementary school.

 C. Two teachers and the building principal from PS 212, in the Bronx, will also join our project with the goal of training two teachers this year, involving most of the staff next year, and becoming part of a turn-key process to share this training model in the New York City area.
