BISD Board Room
1900 Price Road, Brownsville, TX
March 7, 2014 @10:30 AM
We've learned that the Texas Education Agency has approved five Brownsville high schools for participation as Early College High Schools. The approval came via a phone call from Alma Garcia of Educate Texas.
The press announcement will be issued in the BISD Board Room at the administration building on Price Road. The application for this program was submitted jointly by TSC and BISD.
So, who's the broad in the picture?

Pretty girl, must be a tourist.
ReplyDeleteDoes BISD have the computer programs that TSC is using at the present time to teach math, science and spanish courses with the book company that offers their instructional materials on line? If UTB offers courses from freshman to senior level, why did BISD go with TSC and not with UTB? Why did UTB decide not to offer the dual enrollment initiative like before? BISD is helping its teachers financially to obtain Masters in areas such as math and science but what happens if these teachers once they get their Masters decide to quit the district and go to other areas here in the valley or outside the valley? Will the dual enrollment teachers get compensated more than a one time stipend for doing double the work? They have to prepare a syllabus for TSC, give mid-terms and semester finals for TSC, post grades for TSC plus do basically the same work for BISD. Double work, one pay. Students enrolled in dual enrollment courses in BISD are going to answer to BISD, TSC, both or neither? BISD parents with complaints about their child's grade will "chew" the teacher/professor, campus principals will repremend or support the teacher? Will counselors be trained not to give students more than 2 dual enrollment courses per semester or will they spend half of the semester trying to find out the correct information and consequently moving students around from course to course?
ReplyDeleteEverything looks good on paper, but if you dont have the right tools and the correct knowledge of who is to do what, it will end up like a lot of programs that have come and gone affecting precisely those that are suppose to help. Only time will tell; I really hope they succeed.
