JHT Awarded Training Contract from ICUF

(Orlando, FL) 17 May 2010

On May 10, 2010, the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida commissioned JHT to produce online, instructional modules as part of a grant from the Florida Department of Education (FDOE). Democracy's Laboratory (http://democracyslab.icuf.org/) is a collaborative project of four independent colleges and universities. The main objective of this training initiative is to provide professional development in social sciences to instructors working within the Florida Independent College Fund (FICF) to better engage and educate English language learners and students with disabilities.

Led by Program Manager, Adrian Cox, the first two training modules are scheduled to be delivered by June 30, 2010 followed by three additional modules beginning June 30, 2010 and completed by June 30, 2011. This $38K contract is the first ICUF task for JHT. Further development grants from the FDOE and the success of the deliverables from this opportunity may lead to additional projects in the future.
