The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is launching a new grant opportunity available to all Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) for school year (SY) 2022–2023 to support school systems in creating and implementing a math or literacy framework.
Donor Name: Texas Education Agency (TEA)
State: Texas
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 07/29/2022
Details:
The grant provides technical assistance to support a comprehensive collective learning experience with leaders and staff across the LEA, focused on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and what research says about how students learn reading and math. The grant also provides technical assistance to help LEAs develop a strong literacy and/or math framework aligned to current research. The goal of the framework is to help LEAs ensure all existing instructional priorities are aligned with research and to build a shared understanding and unified vision of success with LEA staff around the “why” behind all LEA priorities to support learning acceleration. LEAs who have completed this work have highlighted it as a critical component to manage change in the aftermath of COVID-19 response. LEAs awarded can also provide stipends to participating LEA staff and join communities of practice with other LEA leaders doing this work.
Benefits of the Grant
- Funding for technical assistance from approved providers to facilitate a collective learning series on the research of how students learn in math or literacy and support stakeholder engagement, project management, and change management throughout the framework development process
- Opportunity to participate in district leader Communities of Practice to hear progress and approach of other LEAs similar in profile
- Additional funds LEAs can use flexibly to support stipends for project manager and staff participating in grant activities and/or associated travel costs

- Receive priority for future TEA grant awards aligned to literacy and math supports.
