| 2007 Newsletter Our
mission is to connect education to life realities of students
and communities by preparing future teachers to integrate real
life issues seamlessly into classes across the k-12 curriculum.
Funded by the
Fund for Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), U.S.
Department of Education, The Network for Dissemination of Curriculum
Infusion trains College of Education faculty to prepare future
teachers in a Curriculum Infusion (CI) methodology. Through CI
methodology real life issues including substance abuse, violence,
HIV/AIDS, bullying, and social ostracism are substituted for some
existing content consistent with class learning objectives and
state standards. Future teachers involve students as active learners,
engaged in critically analyzing problems. They gain greater understanding
of racial and cultural diversity and learn to incorporate into
CI lesson plans current research on the most effective ways to
reach students to foster resiliency and support individual and
community prevention.
