Through the support of a Department of Education Teaching American History grant, Fort Bend and Spring Branch ISDs will work with Rice University to provide content-rich teacher professional development for district American history and social studies teachers. The "Teachers as Historians" program is designed to raise student achievement by improving teacher’s knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of traditional American history.

"This has been an amazing experience. I am inspired to carry the torch for my country and for our children who are the future of this great nation!"   - 2010 teacher historian
