For more information about the TEACH program, feel free to visit our online manual by clicking the link in the above title. Please note that details of this manual may change before the Fall semester begins. A new feature to the 2007-08 edition of the TEACH program was the development of a weblog. We used this blog as a means to communicate with TEACH fellows in a less formal manner. During the course of the year, we posted articles of interest as well as reminders/advice about TEACH projects or events. TEACH fellows are welcome to comment on a post and add any insight or ask any questions they may have. The TEACH staff is available to address any questions or comments throughout the week.
