InvestEdTX (ITX) is a non-partisan, education coalition that focuses on Texas public school students and postsecondary readiness and success for all.
We believe Texas students and Texas public schools are capable of great things. System leaders should leverage data-driven practices and targeted investments to set strong academic foundations, close opportunity and achievement gaps, and ensure a high-quality public education so students can meet their full potential.
Texas has a robust education policy foundation of strategic investments through House Bill 3 (86-R) that can serve as a playbook for accelerating student outcomes. InvestEdTX strives to sustain gains made in HB 3 and ensure that all students have opportunities and are equipped to ultimately lead productive lives.
What We Believe
Every student in our state can and deserves to reach their full potential. Young Texans’ futures should not be determined by zip code, race, or income status.
Teachers are the most important in-school factor on student success. Great schools and successful students cannot exist without effective educators.
Investing in evidence-based strategies for core academic skills can focus adult behavior toward improving student outcomes.
Texas is large and diverse; a one-size-fits-all approach does not work here. Local stakeholders and school districts must lead the effort to build effective schools via quality policy implementation.
Appropriate access to timely education data allows Texans to maintain high expectations, evaluate progress toward shared goals, and provide targeted support when we aren’t meeting the bar.
