Are you ready to get involved and advocate with us? Find events and resources and connect with your Regional Advocacy Director and local education advocates.

How We Advocate

The future of Texas — our communities, our economy, our citizenry — depends on how well we prepare all students today. Supporting and strengthening our schools takes all of us. Whether you are ready to get involved or just want to stay in the know on the big issues in public education, you are in the right place.

Regional Advocacy Directors

Our regional advocacy team is working to grow a pro-public education constituency across Texas. This team is working in communities across the state to help educators, families and business leaders raise their voices regarding the importance of public education.

Is a one-day test the best way to measure your child’s school? Our current public school rating and assessment system can miss the full story of what happens in our classrooms. We’re advocating for a system that reflects the unique needs and successes of our local communities, a system that looks beyond a single test score. 

What is one thing your local school does well that isn't measured by a test? Let us know in the comments!
