The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has awarded UT Tyler a Teacher Quality Grant to conduct an Institute for Scientific Literacy, Terri R. Hebert, teacher-in-residence in the Teaching Excellence in Math and Science program, announced. The grant, including supplemental funding from TEMS, totals $99,961. Designed for middle school science teachers in Region 7, the program will include a summer institute beginning in June. Teaching strategies will focus primarily on inquiry-based instruction. Approximately 30 teachers will participate during the summer, as well as throughout the upcoming school year. Each month, there will be a Saturday dedicated to learning more about life, earth and physical science. At the completion of the institute, teachers will conduct action research projects and present their findings to the larger group. The instructional leadership team includes Dr. Ann Guilbert, assistant professor of education, and Dr. Ron Gutberlet, associate professor of biology, said Hebert, who also will be working with the instructional team.
