Description:
Strategic compensation is becoming an increasingly important tool for charter schools looking to attract, retain, and reward great educators. House Bill 2's Enhanced TIA builds on this idea by encouraging school systems to implement comprehensive, performance-based talent systems. In this session, charter leaders will dig into what that actually takes: opening TIA eligibility to every teacher type, building out performance-based pay and evaluation systems, placing educators where student need is greatest, and getting data and quality-control processes solid enough to hold up. We'll spend time on the planning side too, because this kind of shift doesn't happen without cross-functional coordination, buy-in from staff, and a financial model that holds up over several years. By the end, you should have a good read on whether your system is ready to make the leap to Enhanced TIA, and what the extra 10% in funding could mean for you.

Description:
K12 mathematics performance is in a historic decline, with recent NAEP data showing that scores for fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-graders remain significantly below 2019 levels. This systemic crisis reflects widening achievement gaps that begin in early grades and compound over time.
This Texas Public Charter School Network Webinar explores the roots of this decline through standards-aligned learning progressions from K-8 into Algebra 1 and Geometry. Participants will examine how foundational number sense and algebraic reasoning serve as the bedrock for higher mathematics and ensure system-wide coherence.
The session also addresses math anxiety in teachers and students, which often surfaces in early grades and impacts mathematical identity. Attendees will learn to manage anxiety and utilize productive struggle to support long-term growth.
Educators will receive guidance on:
Designed for teachers and leaders, this session provides concrete strategies to bolster the mathematics pipeline through early foundational understanding.

Description:
The PREP Allotment is formula funding to support charter schools to improve recruiting, preparing, mentoring, and keeping educators. This session covers the five PREP pathways: preservice residency, traditional preservice preparation, alternative certification, Grow Your Own, and beginning-teacher mentorship. We'll get into how funding and allowable uses shift depending on the pathway, what it looks like to partner with an educator-prep program or university, and the kinds of commitments to think through before applying. By the end, you'll have a sense of which pathway (or combination) fits your staffing needs, and you'll be ready for the next application window through LASO Cycle 5 this fall.
