Alliance
- Building a lasting working relationship between the UTSA and its African partners to build sustainable linkages and to continue technical assistance and support for its African partners after the completion of this activity;
- Creating a central location in which research on language learning, health and literacy, and textbook materials creation can be housed and accessed world-wide; and
- Strengthening the capacity of the UTSA to maintain a tracking system to monitor expenditures and budget and to monitor and manage technical inputs so that benchmarks are met on schedule and expenses are within budget.
Housed at the UTSA, the Academy will initially include faculty from the UTSA’s College of Education and Human Development and the University Health and Science Center. Collectively, the work of the faculty in these colleges represents expertise in language and
literacy learning, language and literacy policy, sociolinguistics, women’s health and women’s issues, and teaching and teacher education. Further, the Academy will include experts from around the country, including the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Louisville, Rutgers University, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. These outside experts will contribute as consultants and will be a significant part of meeting the goals of the AEI and the Textbooks and Learning Materials Program throughout the world.
