RaiseYourHandTexas

Advocacy isn’t just a word, it’s a choice. Texas students are counting on us. The future of our state depends on how we prepare every child today. Stay informed. Speak up. Take action. What actions will you take to support Texas students? youtube.com/shorts/dCkLoAN… #TXEd #TexasPublicEducation #TexasEducationAdvocacy #RaiseYourHandTexas

We hosted #TxEd Town Halls across the state to help Texans learn about public education issues and become informed advocates. Community members heard directly from state legislators about the most pressing issues facing our public schools and where they stand. If you couldn’t join a townhall in person, you can now watch the full townhall online. Catch up here: raiseyourhandtexas.org/txed/ #TxLege #TexasTownhall

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’re lucky to have dedicated educators, support staff, and school communities powering Texas public schools every day. That’s something worth celebrating. Tag a school, district, or educator you feel lucky to support. 💚 #TxEd #StPatricksDay

In 2006, a group of Texans came together with one belief: every Texas child deserves access to a high-quality education. Nearly 20 years later, that belief drives everything we do. #TxEd #20Years #RaiseYourHandTexas

We are watching the future of Texas bloom, one student at a time. 🌸 Wishing our educators and families a beautiful Spring Break! The future of Texas — our communities, our economy, our citizenry — depends on how well we prepare all students today. Supporting and strengthening our schools takes all of us. We engage Texans in advocacy efforts to support public policy solutions that invest in Texas’ 5.5 million public school students. We work in communities throughout the state to educate, engage, and activate advocates who care about public education – all while keeping five values in mind: integrity, democracy, courage, equity, and pragmatism.

Hey, Texas! If you haven’t voted yet, today’s the day! Yesterday I wore my Texas sweater in honor of Tx Independence Day. As an old Texas History teacher, I couldn’t pass up the chance. Added my VOTED sticker as a reminder. 🗳️ EVERY election is an education election! @RYHTexas

"A government is invigorated when each one of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation." Public schools are the center of our democracy and the heart of our communities. To protect the future of the 5.5 million students in Texas, we must be active participants in our government. There is no more effective way to support our schools than by voting for candidates who prioritize public education. Let each of us do our part to shape a common future. Vote for Texas public schools. #TxEd #Vote #VoteTexas #PublicEducation #TXLege

🚨 FINAL DAY: This is the last day to reach out to your primary election candidates and ask for a better assessment and accountability system for Texas students. While the Legislature recently passed House Bill 8 to make changes and add extra tests to the state’s school accountability system, the majority of Texas public schools are still graded on a single high-stakes spring test taken on a single day. Let’s do better for our kids. Send a message now: go.ryht.org/morethantests #MeasureWhatMattersTX #BeyondTheFallingSTAAR #TxEd #TxLege #TexasPublicSchools #AFRatings #TexasElections #STAAR

Election day is coming up on Tuesday, March 3, but there is still time to learn more about your candidates. Our Regional Advocacy Directors have hosted public education candidate forums across Texas.

@keeptexas1845 We have a list of proposed indicators for Pre-K through 12th Grade from the "Measure What Matters Report". You can read the full report on our webpage here: raiseyourhandtexas.org/advancing-publ…

@RYHTexas What are other ways schools should be graded?

It’s the last day of early voting, and every candidate needs to know that Texans expect bold progress, not temporary fixes, in our accountability system for our public schools. Make sure your candidate knows that public schools are important to Texans before election day on Tuesday, March 3: go.ryht.org/morethantests #MeasureWhatMattersTX #BeyondTheFallingSTAAR #TxEd #TxLege #TexasPublicSchools #AFRatings #TexasElections #STAAR

Great crowd of PASSIONATE participants at Palestine 1st Baptist to discuss what makes a great school. Does the Tx public school acct system help create & support the decisions that are best for kids? Is it changing w/ HB 8? Visit raiseyourhandtexas.org/policy/assessm… to learn more. @RYHTexas

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at the "Beyond the Falling STAAR" workshop in San Antonio. We had lively conversations about accountability, folks designed their own middle schools, and learned more about how our schools get graded. It's time to #MeasureWhatMatters #TXLege
