On Friday, the Killeen Independent School District Education Foundation grant patrol, composed of district and foundation staff and board members, visited 10 district schools and delivered 11 professional development grants totaling about $49,000.
Mable Brooks, a kindergarten teacher at Brookhaven Elementary School, might have been just as surprised when she received a $4,466 grant to go with a group to a conference to learn to teach relational and problem solving skills.
Seven Cavazos Elementary School educators will attend a Visible Learning conference to learn a variety of best practices to create high-achieving learning environments.
Three campuses won grants tied to Visible Learning, and will hear this summer from education researcher John Hattie about narrowing the student achievement gap.
