The voucher hustle - say you are prioritizing marginalized groups knowing full well very few if any will be admitted to private schools. AFT Diane Ravitch 🇺🇸🇺🇦📚🌈🗽🌹🇨🇱❤️ Pastors for Children Diego Bernal Gina Hinojosa Diego Bernal Rep. Vikki Goodwin #txlege houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

Adopting an education policy that has been a proven loser in other states is educational malpractice - kids from low-income families lose & wealthy parents get a tax break. That's not historic - that's par for the course in Texas.

No bias here - I've been lucky to have the best doc advisees! Clark/Jackson Scholars, post docs, leaders, & faculty pushing the field. Grateful to Taeyeon Kim for joining us to share her insights as we start a new tradition of having an annual AERA reunion. College of Education #AERA2025

Dr. Nolan Estes has been one of the most impactful members of our UT educational leadership community & he will be missed. We mourn his passing but know his legacy will be carried forward by his students & the many others they continue to impact each day in public ed. College of Education

You can have all the accountability in the world, but w/o well-trained teachers in every classroom we won't see results. Adequately fund public ed, elevate teachers, create residencies, & THEN LET'S TALK ACCOUNTABILITY.

SCOTUS heard a case to allow a church to run a publicly funded charter school that would teaches religion. As a former HS Gov't teacher, my students learned about the separation between church & state within a week. We need laws improving life for families, not this garbage.

There's a lot of misleading info on the impact of vouchers, charters, & other factors causing public ed enrollment declines. So, we critiqued a report doing exactly that. Please share.

I was honored to advise these 6 amazing doctoral students. We worked hard together over the past few years. They continue their journeys improving public education in Texas & beyond.

Let's see the #txlege go after this WASTEFUL SPENDING. We can't have TEA, friends of TEA, or districts pushing this hustle-reform waste in our public schools but that's what's happening in some TX districts.

Great time co-leading a mini-conference for VA & NC to improve principal preparation to support students w/ disabilities. Stay tuned for more opportunities & tools to improve leadership development.

Our recent report on special ed in Texas was review by the Texas AFT We hope more Texans become aware of the special ed challenges in our state & demand more from our legislature in terms of support & accountability. texasaft.org/uncategorized/…

Texans don't need state officials forcing districts to adopt untested trainings by well-connected consultants. We need high-quality teachers, counselors, librarians, & principals to actually educate kids. Rachel S.

Improving schools isn't about quick fixes or few failing schools. Texas must create a supply of well-prepared teachers for districts to hire/develop/retain. Incentive pay models are quick fixes that can get test score bumps but don't fix root issues. Texas AFT MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC

Texas can't find $$ for public schools, rural hospitals, mental health, flood warnings, & not much else to improve the lives of hard working families but always manages to dole out unnecessary tax breaks to Tesla, SpaceX, & oil & natural gas companies. apnews.com/article/texas-…

Hopefully, policymakers move away from politicizing higher education & get back to supporting them in preparing a workforce & citizenry, curing diseases, & inventing new technologies that improve society.

Rural superintendents face unique pressures—long hours, limited resources, & deep community ties. Our mixed-methods study reveals why they stay, why they leave, and what it means for district stability.
