“By combining innovative tools with strong instructional practices, we’re better preparing our students for success in school and beyond.”

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Harmony Public Schools has been awarded the Texas Education Agency’s Interactive Online Learning Grant to support innovative digital instruction in middle school and high school classrooms. The grant will help implement effective interactive online learning models in U.S. History, Texas History and English Language Arts.

Harmony Public Schools believe that every child can succeed, and is committed to helping them realize their full potential. The initiative aims to enhance student engagement and academic achievement through the use of advanced educational technology and teacher training.
 
This year, Harmony districts made up four of the 21 school districts selected statewide:

• Harmony Public Schools-Central Texas
• Harmony Public Schools-Houston West District
• Harmony Public Schools-Houston South District
• Harmony Public Schools-Houston North District

Each district will receive $300,000 in funding to provide students with access to Newsela, a literacy-focused educational platform, and interactive online software for social studies instruction. The grant will also fund the purchase of student hardware to ensure access to content both in and out of the classroom, as well as professional development for teachers on effective digital instructional strategies.
Last year, the remaining three Harmony Public Schools districts were also recipients of the TEA grant, meaning all Harmony districts statewide have now received this funding.
