The Texas Education Agency (TEA) released its 2021 Annual Report to the general public. A message from Commissioner Morath is included in the front of the report. He notes, “The state is taking action as part of a comprehensive recovery plan. Texas educators and policymakers are prioritizing changes to support improved student learning. Unprecedented levels of funding have been invested to help Texas public school students recover. Public policy has adapted to improve our learning acceleration efforts. School leaders across the state are recalibrating their practices based on the evidence of what will deliver the most learning gains for the most students.” Morath also recognized the amazing work of Texas educators, “As always, our educators are working with a tremendous sense of care and urgency. But the work is extremely hard, and the stresses on educators are relentless.”
