The National Institute of Corrections is soliciting proposals to develop a "tool kit" for those in charge of lesson plan development.  The resources to be developed through a cooperative agreement will address performance objectives, content delivery strategies, training activities, and supplemental materials.  The tool kit will be framed around the Instructional Theory Into Practice model (ITIP).  A nine-month project period is planned, with proposals due on July 24, 2009.  The solicitation is attached to this blog, and will soon be posted on Grants.gov.  General information regarding cooperative agreements is available on the NIC Cooperative Agreements webpage.  Learn more about ITIP from documents in the NIC Library listed below.
