K-12 Schools

Educate Texas recognizes the urgency for the state’s Kindergarten-12th grade schools and classrooms to adapt to the needs of 21st century students. Therefore, the organization is partnering with state agencies, school districts, and funders to identify innovative ways to approach and support 21st century teaching and learning across the educational cradle-to-career pipeline.

STEM

As the 21st century progresses, young people must be equipped with the knowledge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of information. Students learn these types of skills by studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Math - subjects collectively known as STEM. STEM programs bring together state agencies and school districts to focus on STEM education, with goals to strengthen instruction and academics, build relationships with industry experts and the business community, prepare students for STEM careers, and create best practices to use in other school districts.

Higher Education Success

Higher Education programs are designed to increase the number of students who complete two-year or four-year degrees or technical certification. To support the need for higher education credentials, Educate Texas partners with state agencies and cross-sector education providers (school districts, community colleges, and colleges and universities) to design and implement programs, and to build a network of stakeholders able to inform policies that increase the number of students who enroll in, persist and complete higher education.
