The Texas Rural Technology (R-Tech) Pilot Program

The Texas Rural Technology (R-Tech) Pilot provides funding for rural schools to implement technology-based supplemental instruction for students in Grades 6 through 12. The R-Tech evaluation examines how grantee districts and campuses implement technology-based supplemental instruction and the program's effect on student achievement outcomes. Evaluation findings have the potential to inform policy about the use of technology-based supplemental instruction to support student and teacher learning, to expand course offerings to rural districts, and to improve student achievement.
