There is nothing more “watered down” than an academic accountability system based almost entirely on one test.

For a public school system as large and intricate as Texas’, this one-dimensional model seems like an obvious misstep. Let’s talk about why. 🧵

The latest STAAR scores highlight both the challenge and importance of helping students build strong literacy skills early on.

Investing in high-quality pre-K gives Texas students the strong foundation they need to thrive in 3rd grade and beyond. #txed #txlege

2. AOR 639 confirms that charter schools and private/religious schools are not subject to the prohibition on use of public funds for political advertising because they are not considered "political subdivisions" like public schools are. 3/6

This video provides real talk analysis of the shortfalls in the HB2 Committee Substitute.

[RaiseYourHandTexas @RYHTexas]

Last week, the Committee Report for HB 4 was released. HB 4 has three authors and 74 coauthors, signaling strong support from the full House. Listen to our latest episode of Intersect Ed, “The Future of School Measurement: Examining HB 4 and Texas Education Reform,” and hear how Texas has the opportunity to move away from the #STAAR Test, the value of local accountability systems, and what a more meaningful accountability system could look like for Texas.

Listen here: https://t.co/Ru0SWcK4vR

Our Intersect Ed host, Morgan Smith, is joined by Harry Feder, Executive Director of @FairTestOffice - The National Center for Fair and Open Testing; Brad Owen, Superintendent at @burkburnettisd; and Max Rombado, Legislative Director at Raise Your Hand Texas.

[Max Rombado @maxrombado]

That’s what we’re doing with school accountability in Texas.

We reduce the incredible work of educators to a single test score.
We miss the full story.
We ignore what actually works.

HB 4 is our chance to do better.
