这一州/学术界的合作关系将发展一个为期三年的计算机荣誉学院，该学院将为30名K-12年级的东南部教师提供密集的暑期住宿项目和学年跟踪调查。目标是：o培养符合认证要求的硕士教师：(1)将计算机的使用纳入内容领域的教学；(2)成为学校系统的计算机技术专家；O建立一个领导教师资源库，他们将为他们的同事举办在职研讨会。专门为教师设计的包括微型计算机经验的学术课程有(1)实用程序；(2)标志；(3)基础；(4)K-8课程的应用；(5)编程的计算机概念；(6)数据结构；(7)高中课程的应用。K-8教师将选修课程(1)至(4)；高中教师将选修(1)至(3)和(7)；而高级预科编程教师将选修(1)至(3)、(5)和(6)。课程将在为期六周的夏季期间提供，并在学年期间的周六每两周举行一次会议，供当地教师使用。在这两个学年，将每月对本州教师进行实地访问。还将为所有参与者提供计算机网络和时事通讯。此外，领班教师每年会举办10次工作坊，由学校给予他们释放的时间，以帮助同事符合认证要求。完成这项工作的学生将获得西卡罗来纳大学(WCU)的学分。

This state/academia partnership will develop a three year honors institute in computing which will offer intensive summer residential program and academic year follow-up for 30 southeastern teachers, grades K-12. The goals are to: o prepare master teachers to meet certification requirements to (1) incorporate use of computers into content area instructions; and (2) become a computer technology specialist in the school system; o create a resource pool of leader teachers who will hold in-service workshops for their colleagues. The academic courses, which include experience with microcomputers especially designed for the teachers are (1) Utilities; (2) LOGO; (3) BASIC; (4) Applications to K-8 Curriculum; (5) Computer Concepts in Programming; (6) Data Structures; (7) Application to High School Curriculum. The K-8 teacher will take courses (1) through (4); high school teachers will take (1) through (3) and (7); while Advanced Placement programming teachers will take (1) through (3), (5) and (6). Courses will be offered during six weeks of the summer and bi-weekly meetings on Saturday during the academic year for the local teachers. In the two academic years, monthly on-site visits to in-state teachers will be made. There will also be a computer network and newsletter for all participants. Moreover, ten workshops per year will be held by the lead teachers, who are given released time by their schools to help colleagues meet certification requirements. Academic credit will be awarded by Western Carolina University (WCU) for those who complete the work.
