Rouse Selected to Cohort of Teaching Coaches Project Aimed at Helping to Eliminate Bigotry in SC
Katrina Rouse, Florence 1 Schools Social Studies Coordinator, was selected to be in the first cohort of University of South Carollina Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Coaches with program directors, Drs. Karen Gavigan (School of Library and Information Sciences) and Daniella Ann Cook (College of Education).
Funded through a Library of Congress (LOC) TPS grant, the goal of the University of South Carolina project is to help eliminate bigotry in South Carolina by teaching K-12 students about the contributions of African Americans throughout history. As a selected participant, Rouse attended a two-day institute at the U of SC and completed a TPS Institute course at Waynesburg University.
Additionally, Crystal Indrihovic, Williams Middle School Media Specialist, attended a summer information session with Rouse to learn more about the program. Together, they researched and created a civil rights unit of study aligned to the new 8th grade Social Studies standards entitled The Port Royal Experiment. Rouse's projects will be spotlighted on the project webpage:
