The MINK (Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas) Network Educational Resources Center is a regional, collaborative effort among Teacher Corps Projects and a model of shared governance to improve learning environments and understanding among teacher educators. The governance of this group comes from a Board of Directors comprised of project directors from each of the active Teacher Corps Projects within the four-state area. These project directors are in a position to receive continual input from a variety of sources including colleagues at colleges and universities and practitioners at the project sites. This type of multi-faceted input enables the formulation of policy that reflects the functioning of the entire Network. The objectives of the MINK Network are: (1) to act as an educational resource center for materials developed by MINK Teacher Corps Projects as well as other educational materials relevant to the thrust of Teacher Corps; (2) to serve as a communication center among constituent projects for mutual sharing of information, product development, and evaluative analysis of educational materials; (3) to assist new projects through developmental stages by recommending resources, techniques, and materials; (4) to assist those associated or affected by Teacher Corps by sharing techniques, problems, and solutions at meetings; and (5) to coordinate liaisons with other resources outside the Network. This sharing of responsibilities and resources among institutions of higher education, local education agencies, and state education departments is reflected by a high degree of collectivity in the policies and purposes of participating Teacher Corps Projects.
