THIS WEEK__________________________________________________________________
David Passmore, CEO of Bachman Learning Center, in McDonald, Tennessee, will
speak on "How Technology Enhances Special Education".
Bachman Learning Center is a special need school for students with learning
disabilities.

Fred Lupton is our program chair.



LAST WEEK___________________________________________________________________
Dr. Richard Edwards, Professor of Management and Chair, Division of Business
and Technology at Dalton State College spoke to us on DSC's four year
programs.  Dalton State will be delivering courses toward Bachelor of
Science in Management of Information Systems and Management of Industrial
Operations, and Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Management.  Both
of the management degrees are hoping to capture the students that have
completed two year programs such as Associate of Science or Associate of
Applied Science degrees.  There will be graduates from the four year program
by May 2001.  DSC is looking into the possibility of offering two more
degrees by 2001, the degrees will be in marketing and social works.  Dalton
State's current enrolment is 3000 students, and has been the same for the
last five years.  Hope Scholarship has not generated increase in its
enrolment.  Dr. Edwards expressed concerns that some of Hope Scholarship
recipients should required developmental courses prior to taking the college
level courses.  The requirement for Hope is being changed to exclude
non-academic classes in calculating students grade average.
Dr. Edwards believe DSC is providing the education for non traditional
students.  It is serving the population that may not have planned to pursue
a four year degree, such as people that have entered the workforce after
high school, or ended their education with a two year degree from
Chattanooga State, Cleveland State, or Dalton Community College.  Work place
or personal career goal may demand some continuing education.  Dalton State
hopes to provide another education path for the community.
Dalton is able to offer in-state tuition to two Tennessee counties, Hamilton
and Bradley.  But the Hope Scholarship is only eligible to Georgia
residents.
