As Texas makes the transition to the new STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) system that includes end-of-course exams for high school students, it is more important than ever that schools increase their capacity to provide a guaranteed and viable curriculum for every student, every day, in every classroom.

This institute focuses on helping teachers and leaders build collaborative learning cultures—a key to lasting school improvement.

In these sessions, teams of teachers and leaders work together to learn how to use the classroom walkthrough process, research-based instructional strategies, collaborative planning tools, and other techniques to create support systems and structures to help students meet the new standards.
