The National Paideia Center currently is located in Chapel Hill as a part of the School of Education at UNC-Chapel Hill, where it has been since the Center was established in 1988. Plans to move the National Paideia Center to UNCG were announced at a press conference today by UNCG Chan-cellor Patricia A.Sullivan. "The National Paideia Center is mov-ing to UNCG to affiliate with one of the premiere schools of education in the country," said Sullivan at the press con-ference. She told Dr. Terry Roberts, executive director of the National Paideia Center. "We are thrilled that you are going to become a part of the UNCG family." Sullivan called attention to UNCG*s vision statement, which says the institu-tion aspires to be a "leading student-cen-tered university, linking the Piedmont Triad to the world through learning, dis-covery and service." "This marriage is about the leading student-centered funicular reform move-ment in the nation coming to the leading student-centered university in North Carolina." said Sullivan. "I hope that, collectively, we can make public educa-tion and higher ^^_^__^_^^^ education fo-cus on the stu-and practice and use UNCG as a base for reforming our nation's schools." The National Paideia Center is a non-profit organization that has five full-time employees. In addition to Roberts, the ^mmt Center's staff consists of Laura Billings, • » "The National Paideia Center is dent - em- mOVWgtO UNCG tO affiliate With assistant direc- ZbTtoto one °fthe Premiere schools of active leamers. education in the country lifelong learn-ers. the en- Pat"cia Sullivan gaged partici- UNCG Chancellor native citizens ^^^"■^^^^^^—■^^ that we all want to ensure the vitality of our economy and our democracy." At the press conference. Roberts said, "We are thrilled" to be coming to UNCG. "as well as bringing our own colleagues to Greensboro. It is a very exciting mo-ment and one that gives us the opportu-nity to do much, much more good work, and that's the bottom line." In an earlier prepared statement, Rob-erts said. "We are relocating the Center to UNCG in order to create a powerful partnership between a national reform group and a school of education. Such a partnership will mean that we can merge our work with that of the School of Edu-cation to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. This means that we can train UNCG graduates in Paideia theory tor for curricu-lum and in-struction; Dr. Anthony Solari, assistant director for ^^^^~""™^^^^^—training and outreach: plus, an assistant director for operations; and a staff-support position. The Center is led by a 12-member board of advisers, chaired by retired business-man Robert Ward of Hilton Head. S. C. The Center's budget is funded through contracts with school systems and from other grants. "We are ecstatic to have the National Paideia Center become affiliated with our School of Education," said Dr. David Armstrong, dean of the UNCG School of Education, in a prepared statement. "In particular, we are very pleased to have an opportunity to infuse the Paideia perspective into our undergraduate and graduate programs. The National Paideia Center promotes validated reform initia-tives that are well respected around the country, and henceforward, we are pleased that its work will reflect an as-sociation with our School of Education at UNCG." The National Paideia Center is very familiar with Guilford County. Since 1994, the Center has worked with teach-ers and principals in the Guilford County School System to develop Paideia pro-grams in over 40 schools. In May of 1997, the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation of Greensboro awarded a $1 million grant to the Center to implement the Paideia program in every Guilford County school over a four-year period. That effort is now underway. Also taking part in the press confer-ence were Jim Melvin, president of the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation, and Dr. Jerry Weast, superintendent of the Guilford County School System. Roberts said the Paideia Center has on-going partnerships with over 80 schools in 13 states. The Center currently has two extensive implementation sites: with the Guilford County School Sys-tem and the Broward County School System in Florida. Roberts said the Guilford County School System is now "the number-one school system in the nation, in terms of Paideia (program) implementation."
