The Education Foundation of Sarasota County received a $500,000 grant from Helios Education Foundation to help transform teacher preparation, classroom instruction and organizational culture in every middle school in the Sarasota County district. The funding will support a two-year project to address the precarious fall-off in academic achievement and motivation that often occurs when students reach grades 6, 7 and 8. Over the two-year grant period, more than 145 teachers from all eight middle schools will receive in-depth training to use technology-enhanced classrooms, present a more challenging curriculum, and deploy instructional strategies to engage all students as active learners. The funding will also provide tools to track and assess changes in student behavior and achievement.
