| Teacher Integration Spotlight | |

Mrs. Godby, third-grade teacher at Whitt Elmentary school has integrated language arts and technology focusing on student expectations to challenge her students to perform to their highest abilities. Through student collaboration her students performed a reader's theatre and with the help of their teacher, a podcast was created. By doing so students were able to share their performances of their "fractured fairy tails." Additionally, special thanks to Scholastic for copy right permission to record the performances. |

| TPRI/Tejas Lee Palm Assessments | |
 |
In the Fall of 2006 GPISD took a step forward as teachers began to assess students' reading abilities electronically. The result has been increased instructional time, easier evaluation of students' needs and earlier intervention. Now in its second year of implementation the initiative has begun to evolve through collaboration with the assistance of literacy strategists, teachers, administrators and technology to further improve the process so that it becomes seamless. |
