Be. Do. Have. Who do you really want to be? Start there. What do you want to do as this unique and empowered human being? Then imagine what you want to have in your life as that person. And take actions every day to become this person. The rest will come.

Vouchers will fail in TX, once again, for many reasons. But the main reason is the immoral, deceitful, end-justifies-the-means, lying double-speak the voucher people spout. All their gobbledegook boils down to this: You subsidize their affluent private schools. #txed #txlege

"Vouchers have been branded and rebranded. They can be “opportunity scholarships,” “tuition tax credits” or “savings accounts.“ But whatever you call them, they will drain money from Texas’ already underfunded schools." #txlege #vOUCHersHurt #txed texastribune.org/paid-post/love…

Today the Senate Finance Committee is discussing the Texas education budget. We're urging the Committee to provide dedicated funding to school districts for student mental health strategies. #TXlege #TXed

"STEM careers in Texas pay significantly above the living wage," said Diana I. Del Pilar. With STEM professionals earning 56% more than their counterparts & a projected 25% increase in open positions by 2023, it's crucial to support students now so they can thrive in the future.

"We want them to grow and become whatever they want to be," said Harris. A HUGE thank you to our panelists for sharing their excellent insight this morning!

“Our most successful programs have active members who are in the trenches with our high-school and college students” said Sara Mann. Dr. Taylor followed this by emphasizing the need to align curriculums, resources, and advisory boards with the pathways we're trying to grow.

Educate Texas IDRA Alamo Colleges District Grand Prairie ISD “We have to deconstruct this idea that STEM is engineering and robotics, we are doing a disservice to students and families by doing this” said Kenya Wilson of Educate Texas. “STEM exists where students want to exist most."

"We have to ensure that we create opportunities for students to thrive in STEM. They have to be intentional, student-centered, and industry-informed" CHILDREN AT RISK
