The University of Houston recognizes that technological advances are improvingopportunities to enhance the quality of effective teaching methodologies. To address the disparity inknowledge about methodological practices by the new instructors, the departments of HispanicStudies and Engineering Technology developed a Hybrid Orientation Program (HOP) that comprisesboth generic and department-specific modules. The implementation of the new modules requiredthat the existing orientation programs be modified to integrate a theoretical on line training andhands on face-to-face training for new instructors.This paper presents the design and implementation of the

Theimpact of this intervention will be assessed at a critical developmental period: the entry into high school (9th grade).Over the three-year period of the project, the groups of participants have been assessed on a number of differentvariables to develop a model of how these variables impact the cognitive interventions. These variables have allbeen implicated in lowered academic performance, and the information provided by the model will allow thedevelopment of future non-academic interventions associated with these variables to enhance the impact ofcognitive training.IntroductionAn Information
