K-12 Schools

Kindergarten-12th grade schools support different types of instructional and learning models to ensure that students have the resources and tools needed to prepare for higher education and the workforce. Educate Texas recognizes the urgency for the state’s public 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.
