The service center has been very fortunate regarding Teaching American History grants. The 2008 grant is titled "Journey through America's Past and Present" and the 2009 grant is the "LBJ Fellowship." The purpose of each grant is to provide American history teachers of grades 5, 8, and 11 with research-based pedagogy as well as content knowledge. We are partnering with Texas A & M as well as Baylor University professors. Please visit the wesites to see some exciting lessons that have been created by the grant fellows.

Implementation
In 2007 Senate Bill 1031 was enacted, which called for the development of “end-of-course assessment instruments for secondary-level courses in Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry, biology, chemistry, physics, English I, English II, English III, world geography, world history and United States history.” The purpose of the end-of-course (EOC) assessments is to measure students’ academic performance in core high school courses and to become part of the graduation requirements beginning with the freshman class of 2011–2012. The EOC assessments for lower-level courses must include questions to determine readiness for advanced coursework. The assessments for higher-level courses must include a series of special purpose questions to measure college readiness and the need for developmental coursework in higher education. In addition, a student’s score on each EOC assessment will be worth 15% of the student’s final grade for that course.
