DEPARTMENT OF ED ANNOUNCES ONE-STOP WEB SITE; TEACHERS AND OTHERS
SOUGHT FOR PARTNERSHIPS WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES
The Department of Education announced a new one-stop web site of
federal resources for teaching and learning. The new site,
called FREE, or Federal Resources for Educational Excellence,
links more than 45 federal agencies. The tool is expected to
provide a way for federal agencies and teachers to begin forming
partnerships to develop additional high-quality, standards-based
resources for teaching and learning. The FREE web site is at
http://www.ed.gov/free.
As part of FREE, the Department is hoping to award support for up
to seven partnerships of federal agencies and teachers, as well
as other organizations. Each partnership will develop two
products: 1) a set of Internet-based learning resources organized
around a topic and tied to challenging academic standards, and 2)
an Internet-based learning community of teachers, students and
other who use the developed resources.
Proposals to be submitted by federal agencies on behalf of each
partnership and must be received by May 19, 1998. The invitation
requesting proposals and the complete application can be found
at: http://www.ed.gov/free/980406.html
