The Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative (OVEC) and UofL Partnership is coordinated by Dr. Geneva Stark. In 1991, UofL, the CEHD, and OVEC formed a partnership to deliver improved professional development to the 15 districts that were in OVEC region at that time. Over the years, the partnership has expanded to include additional services and opportunities. Among these are grants, committees, leadership and participation in the Content Networks, (which support the Kentucky Core Academic Standards). OVEC collaborates with the CEHD on facilitating teacher recruitment, leadership initiatives, and faculty research efforts. Although not an inclusive list, some of the activities and services are:

The partnership has also created a coordinated mechanism for OVEC districts and schools to be provided services by the UofL College of Education and Human Development faculty and for the faculty to have access to OVEC districts and schools for research or services. Follow the link for a Research Request or Service Request through the UofL site. It provides a form to be completed and sent to Chrissy Jones at OVEC or to Dr. Geneva Stark at the CEHD. Instructions are given at the web site. Once the information on the form is reviewed, the Request for Research or Services will be processed.
For questions about any of these initiatives on this page, please contact Chrissy Jones at OVEC, 502-647-3533, ext. 266.
