  And we try to do everything we can to get the materials for teachers," said Dr. Terry Simpson, chair of the college's Education Division and project director for the grant.
  
  "We're a teaching college. We do not get course reductions for participating in this. We teach the same load," Simpson said.
  ...
  We make them better, and if we do it we'll help improve the education of our children," Simpson said.
  
  Maryville College officials have discussed resubmitting an application to extend the program for another three years, he said.
  
  Administrators are already evaluating whether the program has increased teacher content knowledge and impacted student Gateway and TCAP test scores, Simpson said. Officials will fully evaluate the program's success when the three-year grant ends in early 2011, he said.

  According to Dr. Terry Simpson, chair of the Education Division and project director for the grant, Maryville College will oversee the $1.8-million budget and commit three additional faculty members to work with teachers of participating schools.

  ...
  Through several Dwight D. Eisenhower Teacher Professional Development Grants awarded in the 1990s, Simpson, Dr. Terry Bunde, professor of chemistry, and Dr. Paul Threadgill, professor of biology, collaborated to design summer workshops and courses like "grocery store chemistry" and "the physics of toys."
  ...
  In 2005, Simpson, Bunde and Dr. Drew Crain, associate professor of biology, were conducting science workshops for teachers through a $33,000 grant from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
  ...
  The ETnMSP is different than previous grants, Simpson said.
  ...
  Simpson said he is confident that the grant and program will greatly improve the quality of instruction in public-school math and science classrooms but regardless of what the collected data suggests, he said he knows that Maryville College students and the participating faculty members will benefit from their participation in the ETnMSP.
  
  "These faculty members are going to have a greater understanding of what's going on in the high schools, what's missing (curricular-wise)," he said.
  ...
  "Maryville College has a highly respected teacher education program, and I knew that Dr. Simpson was an excellent person with whom to work," she said.

  Terry Simpson, head of education at Maryville College, isn,t surprised by the Blount County Board,s policy. ,With my knowledge of growing up in this area and how religious and conservative it is, I,m quite sure the majority of folks out here would be for the teaching of intelligent design, if you were to put it to a vote,, he says.
  
  Despite what he perceives as a community consensus, Simpson opposes the inclusion of intelligent design and creationism in school curricula. ,The courts have consistently said [intelligent design] is not a legitimate science, that it,s a religious perspective, and that,s hard argue against,, he says. ,That,s not to say it,s not a valid philosophical position, so it might be appropriate to mention in other classes like sociology or history.
