Burdett Johnson, Associate Director (WSC) Arthur Jackson, Associate Director (USU) Malcolm Allred, Program Development Specialist (USU) Carol Fahncke, Community Coordinator The Utah Collaborative Teacher Corps Project is a cooperative effort involving Weber State College, Utah State University, Ogden City School District, and the Ogden Community. The major thrust of the project is to train and retrain teachers to better meet the needs of children from low-income areas. Teacher Corps is a program financed by a grant from the U.S. Office of Education through the National Teacher Corps. The program enables four students who have a baccalaureate degree to get a second baccalaureate degree in Elementary Education, a teaching certificate and a Master's degree. These student interns work in the site school and the community while completing their academic requirements. 114 Education Elementary Education In addition to the training program for interns ,the project is concerned with developing models of retraining for teachers who are in the schools. These teachers will work with the Teacher Corps staff in a training complex, where such programs as mainstreaming the teaching of children with learning and behavioral disabilities into the classroom, individualization of instruction, and multi-cultural education, are strong thrusts.
