The Texas Legislature just passed the largest public education funding increase in Texas history. Thanks to Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick, Speaker @Burrows4TX, Chairman @CreightonForTX, and Chairman @BradBuckleyDVM for their leadership. Texas is on a pathway to be #1 for education.

🙌 SB 2253 is voted out of committee and would make historic investments in the preparation of high-quality teachers that every student deserves. Great summary from @Commit2Dallas that incorporates research and raises the urgency needed to make some real impacts! #txlege #txed

Kirksey said "there is no financial incentive to choose quality [programs]." "That choice means they will have little income while completing student teaching & then enter a profession where they can make the same starting salary as someone who's completely uncertified." #txlege

What are the effects of previously uncertified teachers the following school year? Findings confirm: Not all certification is equal. Uncertified TX teachers who entered structured prep programs (esp. Grow Your Own) matched outcomes of 2nd/3rd-year teachers. Those who pursue…
