TEA awards math grant to PCS
The Texas Education Agency awarded $46,800 to Phoenix under the Algebra Readiness Grant.
The award enables the school to supplement the current math program with an additional 10 hours of math tutoring weekly for students in grades 6-8 using Algebra Readiness Software from the MIND Institute. The school will also purchase two laptops for the program.
Part of the grant money will be used to provide support to our math teachers through coaching and additional professional development. An extra duty stipend will be provided to Robert Long (5th & 6th grade math teacher) to act as our in-house coach and the award will also pay for an external coach to work with our math teachers.
