UT-Brownsville Regional Collaborative / Brownsville
The mission of The University of Texas at Brownsville's Regional Collaborative is to provide state-of-the-art, on-going professional development opportunities for teachers within its region. The intent of the program is to support initiatives that increase the content and pedagogical practices of teacher leaders that effect positive change in student achievement.
Accomplishments
During Fall 2008, collaborative members received extended training on journaling, mentoring and chemistry. All STMs attended the Rio Grande Valley Science Association's 21st Annual Conference in Mercedes, Texas where they were able to select workshops to benefit their knowledge in science education (primary and secondary grades). Additionally, STMs learned different ways to implement chemistry principles, strategies, and techniques to address the needs of ELL students.
