HELPING COMMUNITIES WORK SMARTER
Educate Texas aligns systems and resources within communities to identify and scale what is working. By bringing different sectors together, Educate Texas helps establish a unified vision, sets milestones to measure success, uses evidence-based findings to refine strategies, matches stakeholders and resources to expand successful practices, and identifies a supporting organization to assist in carrying out the plan.
This collaborative approach allows communities to build capacity for problem solving, rather than working independently and learning through trial and error.
