Mission

The Education Service Center Region XV math team is dedicated to excellence in teaching mathematics through leadership, partnership, training, instructional coaching and service.

Accomplishments

During the 2007-08 grant period, the ESC Region XV is offering twenty-two trainings for MTMs in the Region. Teachers may select from a variety of offerings including TMDS, Math TEKS Connections K-8, Math TEKS Connections Geometry and Enhancing Mathematics Instruction through Children's Literature. Each of these workshops is designed to improve mathematics instruction by increasing the content knowledge of teachers, enhancing the ability of teachers to ask questions and providing teachers with strategies and activities to use with students. Discussions of how to implement these strategies with English Language Learners are included in all workshops.

ESC Region XV will receive funding for the Texas Regional Collaborative for the 2008-2009 school year. ESC Region XV will provide an average of 75 contact hours of training in high quality, research-based professional development to 84 teachers (MTMs). These 84 Math Teacher Mentors will provide an average of 12 contact hours of mentoring and outreach to 270 additional educators.
