Your dedication is outstanding and ACC is fortunate to have an individual so committed to education. You are a highly respected faculty member and our students benefit from your fine work and for that I am truly grateful.
Texas Senator Jane Nelson
I commend you for your work in supporting science teachers and enhancing their professional development and leadership capacities. I look forward to working with you on important education facing the state of Texas.
Felipe Alanis, when Texas Commissioner of Education
To a friend I admire, value and appreciate—thank you for all you do for public education.
Mike Moses, when Texas Commissioner of Education
The work of the Texas Regional Collaboratives continues to impress me. Thank you for your commitment and work to improve public education.
Gwen W. Grigsby, Associate Vice President for External Relations, The University of Texas at Austin
Every time I hear you speak, you make me realize how much of what I have around me I take for granted. You have helped me to remember and appreciate all that is good about America!
J. Patrick Conroy, Intellectual Leadership in Education
“I met Kamil Jbeily who heads the Texas Regional Collaboratives for Excellence in Science Teaching at the University of Texas. I visited Kamil in Texas during December, 1998, and met with science educators from throughout the state of Texas. When I returned home, I expanded chapter 9 to emphasize the completeness of programs that research and development must deliver to teachers and teacher trainers.”
