Region XIII Educator Certification Program (ECP) is collaborating with Austin Independent School District and Taylor Independent School District to place 26 beginning high school mathematics and science teachers in high needs schools throughout their districts. As part of the Transition to Teaching grant, Region XIII assures these teachers are able to incorporate project-based learning as well as integrate technology into classrooms. Through these trainings, the teachers will be prepared to not only work in, but lead their campuses in high school redesign initiatives to better prepare students to meet the challenges of postsecondary education.
