(Laredo, Texas)-Fifteen UISD Middle School Teachers collaborated with Laredo ISD and Zapata County ISD teachers as they visited local community worksites to conduct action research on “High Demand Occupation Opportunities” in our community. The project was made possible by a South Texas Workforce grant. Over 30 real world, learner centered lesson plans were developed reflecting 11 local industries.
All lessons are TEKS and STAAR aligned and are sure to motivate and prepare students for a brighter future. Thank you to Conway, Frank’s Architect, Buckland Customs Broker, Kristi Lins, Biomat-Grifols, Border Region, U.S. Border Patrol, Ruth B. Cowl, Mercy Kids, HJH Forwarding, Skintology and to the South Texas Workforce Solutions for this distinct opportunity for professional development.
