Reading Academies will be focused on TEKS

Focused cohorts across the state,

established by ESCs, LEAs, and/or non-profit organizations through

LOI process, will receive additional support and create resources for the

field

Goal: Reading Academies will grow teachers’ knowledge, understanding, and use of the new TEKS, based around both the TEKS guides and effective, research-based, and scientifically validated reading instruction methods.

All content will be available through the TEKS guides to ensure that teachers across the state have access

to professional development on the

new standards

Participants include K-5 teachers,

school leaders, district leaders, and optional ESC representatives

ESCs will be able to provide year-round

professional development on the new standards, which

may also include observations, feedback, and

instructional coaching
