Valley City State University (Valley City State University, Allen Memorial Library)

Valley City State University and its partner, the North Dakota Leadership and Educational Administration Development Center (ND LEAD), will implement a continuing education delivery model to train and support 25 three-person, school-based collaborative teams consisting of a school administrator, the library media specialist, and a classroom teacher. These teams will develop, implement, and disseminate projects that will integrate national content standards and 21st Century Skills in classrooms across North Dakota and neighboring states. Teams will benefit from fifteen months of intensive training and mentoring that will include both face-to-face and online support. The model will be widely disseminated in the education leadership and school library communities.
