UT Tyler teams up with Texas Education Agency to help small school districts increase literacy
Two of the biggest education organizations in the state are stepping in to help small, struggling school districts improve their literacy rates.
The Texas Education Agency and the University of Texas System have teamed up to create the Texas Turnaround Initiative, which is designed to leverage the intellectual capital of UT schools of education to improve classroom environments.
UT Tyler Department of Education Director Wes Hickey said TEA Commissioner Mike Morath was instrumental in the program’s creation.
The initiative uses a multitiered approach with intervention for the students and increased training for new teachers.
