Supporting a vibrant

Supporting a vibrant charter

Charter 

When we grow together, the entire Texas public charter community thrives.
In 2025, TPCSA expanded its member services team so we could work even more strategically to get members the support they need — from creating dozens of new webinars and policy resources to connecting schools to the right solution providers. Our team also invested in innovative solutions to help new and established schools flourish.

Our upgraded job board helped members recruit qualified candidates nationwide.

We partnered with InsiteEFS to build a sophisticated mapping tool with demographics, real estate data, and other insights for targeted expansion.

We provided deep coaching and planning support to nine new charter schools as they laid the foundations for success.

Teach Like a Champion Super Users

Each year, member schools complete more than 20,000 continuing education hours through online webinars and our statewide conference. But several schools have made their strongest gains through initiatives like our in-person Teach Like a Champion workshops.

We recently connected with a few “super users” — schools that sent several teachers and coaches in 2024 and 2025, creating a critical mass of educators equipped with the same strategies.

Dr. Dana Jobe
Superintendent,
Universal Academy
“Investing in our educators is the key to improving student achievement. TLAC’s practical, research-based strategies have strengthened our instructional leadership, created a common language for effective teaching, and transformed our Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) into collaborative coaching environments where teachers continuously refine their instructional practices.”
Dr. Don Mills
Superintendent,
Lighthouse Public Schools
“One of our high school teachers embraced the use of instructional data to continuously adjust teaching. His classroom performance improved, and his students demonstrated strong academic growth. He became an instructional leader on our campus and played an important role in helping our high school improve from an F to a B rating in 2026.”
Dr. Julia Wright
Superintendent,
MeyerPark Charter School
“When your students face challenges outside the classroom, every minute of instructional time matters. For two years, MeyerPark has sent all of its new teachers, along with their instructional coach, to TPCSA’s Teach Like a Champion workshop. We now dedicate time every Friday for teachers to model these techniques. Two of our highest implementers were even praised by a TEA visitor who observed their classrooms. This caliber of PD creates consistency and excellence across our campus.”
