The Texas Regional Collaboratives for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching were formed to improve the academic achievement of students in mathematics through teacher professional development. Regional Collaboratives provide training for teachers of K - 12 mathematics. During the 2006-2007, twenty Collaboratives served over 8,000 teachers. For the current 2007-2008 grant period, twenty-two institutions across the state of Texas serve as Mathematics Regional Collaboratives. Please contact the Mathematics Regional Collaborative in your area to participate in training.

TRC Forms & Materials

Statement of Work Example

2007-08 Participant Data Form with Form Fields
This document allows participants to complete the form electronically using form fields. Several other clarifications have also been made to improve the usability of the document. You may use either this document or the original 07-08 form below.
Sample Invoice
This is a quick reference to show what elements make up a proper invoice. Project Directors should give a copy of this sample to business office contacts to assure accuracy and thoroughness in invoicing procedures.
Invoice Template
Business offices can use this form to create invoices if your institution does not already have an invoicing template in place. Tab through the form entering fields as you go, and then print it on a piece of your institution's letterhead. INVOICES WITH PROPER ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL REPORT SUBMISSIONS.
Budget Tracking Spreadsheet
Project Directors should use this form throughout the grant cycle to be sure money is spent appropriately from each budget line item and cross-check with your business office regularly for complete accuracy. THIS FORM IS REQUIRED FOR ALL REPORT SUBMISSIONS.
Budget Amendment Form
Project Directors should use this form if budgeted amounts within line items require adjustment at anytime throughout the grant cycle. This form cannot be accepted after July 1, 2007. Route all completed forms to Jeff Early for approval.
2007-08 Updated Participant Data Form
This is an updated, user-friendly form that replaces all previous participant data forms as of August 2007. It is modeled after the TRC's Online Data Center and allows for more streamlined data entry. We have also added several user requested aspects such as expanded job description and Title I choices.
 
 
Profile Form
This form was established by the US Department of Education for tracking the use and dissemination of grant funds. Be as accurate and thorough as possible when completing this profile. THIS FORM IS REQUIRED FOR YOUR FINAL REPORT SUBMISSION.
Sample Spreadsheet for Tracking TRC Math Training Units
Please use this template to report math training units offered to your collaborative participants.
