On October 13, 2012, the Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care in partnership with Tuskegee University Library Services & Archives and the Tuskegee University History & Political Science Department offered the first TU Teacher’s Academy. The TU Teacher’s Academy was a pilot professional development workshop to engage Macon County Public School Teachers, K-12, in the exploration of historical events that still prove relevant in 2012. Several Macon County educators in the areas of American history, government, literature, art, music and other related subjects in the humanities gathered to attend the one-day academy. Participants included Charma Allen, Kimela Coleman, Gwendolyn Collier and Stephen Rogers.
The academy was facilitated by a multi-disciplinary team from the university and focused on guiding the participants through Archival documents, dating back to the mid 1900’s. The group researched the history of the Tuskegee Civic Association (1941-1979). The TCA was an important community effort that impacted the Civil Rights Movement and had particular significance leading up to the historical landmark Supreme Court case of Gomillion vs. Lightfoot. The group journeyed through history by delving into boxes that included authentic articles, pictures and announcements from the aforementioned period. The teacher’s were divided into three groups – Student movements, Race relations and the Socio-economic times of African Americans in Southern states. Each group presented a Power Point presentation on their individual finds. The day ended with a conversation of how they would translate this lesson into an informative learning experience for their students.

"It's like a family reunion.", quipped a Macon County School System employee as teachers, administrators, support staff and school board members greeted each other after the summer break. There was a celebratory atmosphere in the air as employees waited in line for ID photographs and prepared Tuskegee Institute Middle School for the two-day, Institute Day, event.
The reason for the celebratory mood was the recent announcement from the Superintendent's Office. Macon County Schools achieved 100% AYP, meaning all Macon County Schools met adequate yearly progress.
All schools scored high in critical areas, like math, reading and attendance, surpassing some neighboring, more highly-touted school systems.
After a delicious meal of hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecued chicken, corn on the cob and tossed salad, employees were surprised with an awards ceremony, recognizing their achievements. Schools were awarded individually and collectively, while enjoying music by the D'zyre Band, a premier local group of entertainment professionals.
Congratulations to the School Board Members, Dr. Jacqueline Brooks, The School Improvement Team, Principals, Teachers, Support Staff, Child Nutrition, Bus Drivers, Parents and Students!
