Mission

To design and offer an intensive long-term, integrated science program that produces campus leaders.

Accomplishments

The Region VII Collaborative has become a template for sustained, high intensity professional development in East Texas. Our fourteen-year success was substantiated in 2005 by the participation of 40 teachers from 37 different school districts.

To date, 350 teachers have participated in our professional development programs and over 2,500 additional teachers having been impacted as a result. With our ultimate goal focused on student success in science, we are proudest of the approximately 110,000 students we have reached in our fourteen years of existence.
