Cooling the Curriculum Hot Spots in Math (Grades 6-8)
Some content is just plain tough to teach. Add in the process standards, and rigor is off the chart. In each content area we could all use some fresh ideas to teach kids important but complex things. Are you ready to motivate and energize your students? Try out new ideas – innovate on old ones – and have a fun time learning with the lead4ward crew!

Project Share Update
Close of Epsilen Contract
TEA’s contract with Epsilen, the learning management system (LMS) used to deliver Project Share’s online professional development courses, ends on August 31, 2015. Before the contract period ends, users should take inventory of their content housed in Epsilen and complete steps to download and save their work. There will be a lapse in service as TEA transitions from one management system to another. For this reason, we strongly recommend that teachers complete courses by August 31, 2015, and save and print their certificates of completion. While the contract for use of the Epsilen LMS will end, the Project Share initiative continues. Online professional development courses and teacher and student resources, including the ESTAR/MSTAR and TxAIR systems, OnTRACK Lessons, and Gateway resources, will be available for the 2015–2016 school year.
For additional assistance or questions on how to save work, please contact projectshare@tea.texas.gov.
