P L A N O I S D2 16Three Plano ISD teachers earn funds from STEM Teaching Award By Cassidy Ritter

Plano ISD teachers Bryan Yee, Laura Spear and Raymond Morton received the Texas Instruments Innovations in STEM Teaching Award this year.

The award honors science, technol-ogy, engineering and math teachers in Richardson, Plano, Dallas, Gar-land, Mesquite and Lancaster.

Award recipients are given a $10,000 prize, $5,000 of which must be used for professional development or classroom innovation.

“The TI Foundation is very focused on working with school districts to help improve STEM teacher effective-ness,” said Gail Chandler, director of citizenship communications for TI. “There’s a tremendous shortage of those good math and science teachers and that’s why we work hard to make

sure the really good ones get recog-nized and rewarded.”

TI has given $250,000 to PISD teachers through the award since 2007, Chandler said. Award recip-ients are nominated by his or her principal, and each teacher has a different plan for the prize money.

Yee, PISD’s 2016 Secondary Teacher of the Year, has taught at Plano Senior High School since 2007 and said he intends to use his award to create videos for his classes.

“A lot of times students are out [of the classroom], so ... if someone is out, they can actually watch this video and get a different perspective other than just reading the book,” he said. “Reading the book is great, but sometimes hearing someone talk about it and hearing specific exam-ples we used in class helps a lot.”

Education Foundation opens first teacher supply store in PlanoBy Cassidy Ritter

A recent survey of PISD teachers showed that almost 50 percent of teachers spend more than $250 a year out of their own pockets, and 15 percent spend more than $500 a year on supplies for their students and classrooms.

That is why the Plano ISD Education Foundation opened Plano’s first Classroom Resource for Education, or CORE, Store, located at 3900 W. 15th St., Ste. 102.

The CORE Store provides school supplies to teachers at no cost, said Jean Callison, chairwoman of the CORE Store Committee and former president of the Plano ISD Education Foundation’s board.

The foundation is a nonprofit orga-nization that generates support for priority projects identified by PISD.

“There’s no money changing hand[s],” Callison said. “The teachers don’t pay for the supplies.”

The store opened in August and allows teachers at Title I schools to shop by appointment. Callison said the store would eventually serve all students in Plano.

For more information, contact the CORE Store at 469-752-8272.

*** West of Coit Rd.: 49, 61, 66 | East of Coit Rd.: 57, 62, 65 About 60 percent of Plano ISD students complete the Algebra I course and pass the end-of-course exam in middle school. As a result, the outcomes in high school on the state EOC exam reflect the performance of a smaller proportion of students than may be typical of many school districts.

*** West of Coit Rd.: 49, 61, 66 | East of Coit Rd.: 57, 62, 65

With the exception of the IB World School at Plano East Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12, senior high schools in Plano ISD serve grades 11 and 12. Therefore, the EOC results reported for Algebra I, Biology, English I and English II indicate only those few students who were not successful on previous exams given in grades 9 and 10.
