Afterword

This curriculum was initially made possible through a matching grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission and supplemental funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and several Pennsylvania corporations, foundations, and individuals. Its revision in 1998 was funded by Team PA/PA Entrepreneurial Education Initiative. The Pennsylvania Partnership for Economic Education is grateful to the funders and to the many people who made this curriculum a reality.

Taking Charge was developed by a team of educators under the leadership of Janet H. Bishop, former Field Consultant, with the assistance of Deborah Mackey. Special gratitude is extended to Dr.James Wetzler, Pennsylvania Department of Education, and the superintendents at the six pilot demonstration school districts who agreed to participate in the demonstration phase when it was "only a vision."

Dr. Thomas O'Donnell Scranton City School District Scranton, PA Dr. John A. Dunlap, Jr. Woodland Hills School District Pittsburgh, PA Dr. William Regester Keystone School District Knox, PA

Dr. Clyde Colwell Shikellamy School District Sunbury, PA Dr. Dennis Murray Altoona Area School District Altoona, PA Dr. Robert Paserba Butler Area School District Butler, PA

We also thank the pilot and alternate teachers and the district administrators at each demonstration site during the implementation of the pilot curriculum.

PPEE staff members served as demonstration site coordinators during the demonstration phase. They coordinated the community resources and provided guidance and support to the teams at each site.
