Curriculum Lab Services

The Curriculum Laboratory houses, maintains and circulates a collection of print and non-print materials related to all areas of the teacher education program and provides access to equipment for the use of the non-print media.

In addition to the circulation of materials, the Lab provides numerous study and media-related services.

The Lab has work space, equipment and materials available for the development of projects and construction of teaching materials by the students. These projects include the creation of videos, bulletin boards, transparencies, learning centers, games and other teaching materials. 

Binding and laminating machines and an Ellison lettering machine are available for student use. Laminating film may be purchased for 40 cents per foot and transparency film for 25 cents per sheet. The Lab provides access to a plain paper copier at a charge of 10 cents per copy. A limited amount of supplies and materials are made available at no charge.

Space is also available for conducting group meetings or just quiet study.

Laboratory personnel offer professional guidance to students and faculty in the selection and use of educational resources. The professional staff confers with students as they plan their projects, identifies and locates appropriate materials and advises them in the effective use of these materials.

Personnel also teach students and faculty how to operate the various types of equipment used in materials creation and classroom presentations.

Guided tours of the Curriculum Laboratory are available upon request.
