Last month was a very busy and successful time for the TRC. During August 4-8, the TRC once again hosted a Geometry in Construction (GiC) training for teams of 35 geometry and CTE teachers from around the state. Teachers attended the training at Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville ISD, which has been implementing the program since 2012. Holding the training at a school that actively participates in the program allowed attendees to view facilities and speak with teachers currently implementing the program.

Kent Page, a long-standing member of Our Lady of the Lake Science Regional Collaborative in San Antonio, has been awarded the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). Peggy Carnahan, his Collaborative Director, says that Kent has been an active TRC member since 2005 and has been a role model for other teachers in their collaborative.

In a first for the TRC Annual Meeting, participants in this featured session will connect live ship-to-shore with a research expedition led by the International Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) in Southern Alaska and their Education Officer, Alison Mote.
