Frank Hernandez is the type of teacher who loves to explore innovative instructional practices such as blended learning, flexible seating, project-based learning, and enhanced technology integration. He had a vision for what his classroom would look like with new furniture, seating, and technology options that allowed his students to move, interact, explore and collaborate with more energy and enthusiasm.
Here's how Mr. Hernandez put his vision into words, "I believe the changes in my classroom environment would drive students to want to come to class and see what we are doing each day. Students would hopefully be more motivated to want to learn and get assignments done on time."
Because of this, Lytle ISD selected him as one of ten winners of our 2020 Innovative Classroom Grant Award. He had $10,000 to fund his dream classroom. Watch the video to see his dream become a reality. Better yet, stop by Coach Hernandez's classroom #144 at the High School and soak up some good learning vibes!
