The Urban Impact Project's first goal is to restructure university coursework and university/school partnerships to better equip preservice teachers with the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to succeed with urban student populations, utilizing technology enhancements where appropriate. 

The Curriculum Redesign teams strive to reach this goal in three areas: science, reading, and math education.

The teams are composed of teachers in the Hamilton County Schools, faculty of several departments at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and representatives of the BellSouth Company. More information on the teams is available on our Curriculum Redesign Team Members Page.
