Strategic Priorities

TEA Strategic Plan

The Strategic Plan is a five-year planning document required every two years that contains the agency's mission, philosophy, goals, objectives, and

• strategies. It is the agency's plan that

documents what we intend to achieve with the funding we receive for public education.

Strategic Priorities

The TEA works to improve outcomes for all public school students in the state by providing leadership, guidance, and support to school systems, working towards the vision that every child in Texas is an independent thinker and graduates prepared for success in college, a career, or the military, and as an engaged, productive citizen. To achieve this vision for public education in Texas, the Agency has outlined specific strategic priorities to guide and focus our work on behalf of the more than five million school children in our State.
