The Curriculum Materials Center
(CMC) was established to support the education curricula
of the Atlanta
University Center schools with materials for the
classroom practitioner/teacher (beginning & veteran),
comprehensive curricula for grades K-12, and historical
pedagogy.
To ensure that all criteria of a balanced and representative
teacher education program are met, the Curriculum
Materials Center's holdings have been greatly enhanced
in quality and quantity. Due to collaborative efforts
between the library's education subject specialist
and the faculty, we provide resources that strengthen
the education major's preparation and performance.
The CMC will continue to strive in all areas of collection
development to enrich its holdings for "America
2000 - the 21st Century". |
