I have been contacted recently from parents concerned about what and how their children are being taught at school. After some research I have found that Conroe ISD is implementing the progressive/liberal philosophy teaching style called Project Based Learning (PBL). Texas did not adopt the Common Core standards which is taught with the same PBL philosophy. Texas Education Service Centers and local school district have implement the same teaching philosophy under the name of Cscope or just PBL.
Another term you will hear in Conroe ISD is the CRISS strategy or method. This is the same as Common Core and PBL.
York Junior High seems to be very proactive in implementing PBL.. you can check here.
The chart below gives you a comparison between a Traditional Education and a Project Based Learning one.
