Snook ISD’s Literacy Framework
A Systematic and Structured Approach to Reading and Writing Development
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. This grant is one component of the broader Strong Foundations Grant Program (Texas Education Code Sec. 29.0881), established through House Bill 4545, 87th Regular Session, 2021, that offers multiple years of LEA support and is intended to increase the percentage of third grade students reading on grade level. LEAs participating in this grant will receive priority access to future TEA planning and implementation supports that are part of the broader Strong Foundations program.
EA is offering the Math and Literacy Framework Development Grant based on feedback from numerous LEAs that it is the most important work they completed to build a strong foundation for strategic planning and change management. The investment in collective learning is grounded in the research of how kids learn in literacy and math, as well as in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). It helps LEAs develop a clear, research-based system of values and guidance, ensure alignment of curriculum and instruction systems, and build the "why" behind instructional changes for all stakeholders. Many LEAs have used this framework to evaluate and improve alignment of instructional materials and professional development supports, while also drawing clear connections to the new changes in the STAAR Redesign.
Under House Bill 5 (passed in 2013 by the 83rd Texas Legislature), all districts are required to evaluate the district's performance and the performance of each campus in regard to community and student engagement. Districts must assign one of four performance ratings-
- Exemplary, - Recognized, - Acceptable, - Unacceptable
to the district and each campus for overall performance, including the following categories:
Fine Arts
Wellness and physical education
Community and parental involvement
21st Century Workforce Development program
Second language acquisition program
Digital learning environment
Dropout prevention strategies
Educational programs for gifted and talented students
