The Texas Business and Education Coalition’s Honor Roll for 2009 recognized 254 of the state’s most outstanding public schools. Being named a TBEC Honor Roll school is the most prestigious academic award a Texas public school can achieve. TBEC sincerely thanks H-E-B, the event sponsor for their continuing generosity and CenterPoint Energy for providing event materials. This year the Texas Business and Education Coalition is hosting the 11th Honor Roll gala celebration event on Monday, November 15th at the Hilton Austin Hotel.

A calculated approach: Mining the market for math and science teachers |

|
|
|
There might be an upside to this down economy: Texas schools are in need of highly qualified math and science teachers and the market is flush with out-of-work, technically skilled professionals seeking job security, health insurance, and retirement plans. With access to economic stimulus funds for workforce training, now could be the best time in recent history for school districts to recruit these industry-savvy professionals to the classroom. Yet, simply attracting talent isn’t enough. Districts need to back their hiring efforts with comprehensive induction and mentoring programs to ensure the talent stays in the classroom, no matter the state of the economy. |
