April is National Poetry Month, and we're celebrating the teachers and educators who bring language to life in classrooms across the Lone Star State.

In 2006, a group of Texans came together with one belief: every Texas child deserves access to a high-quality education. Nearly 20 years later, that belief drives everything we do.

Parents want to know what’s really happening in their children’s schools—how they’re learning, growing, and being supported.

It’s time to create a more complete, accurate view of student success.

#MeasureWhatMattersTx #TXEd #RaiseYourHandTexas

Fresh notebooks, sharpened pencils, and water bottles in backpacks...

As schools reopen across Texas, let’s make sure they’re supported with the resources and respect they need to thrive.

Here’s to a strong start to the school year!

#BackToSchoolTX #RaiseYourHandTexas #MeasureWhatMatters

Texas schools haven’t stood still—there’s been real progress in how we assess and support student learning. But we’re still using a system built around one test on one day.

Let’s design accountability that actually reflects everything.
