'The Power of the Network'
Spotlight: Teacher Externship
During the 2009 Teacher Externship Week, June 8-12 , more than 200 public school teachers spent a week making connections with business professionals and companies from across the Houston region.
Generous support from Shell Oil Company and the Greater Houston Partnership make the annual Externship Program possible.
Houston A+ Challenge's popular Teacher Externship Program has grown rapidly since its pilot year in 2003, when it launched with six teachers from Reagan High School. One hundred teachers and 40 businesses from throughout the Houston metro area participated in the weeklong program in 2007.
