    Florence Shapiro has nominated The Visioning Institute for Texan of the Year. "It is not a simple task to step up for change when the status quo is so much easier. But they have done so. Through their innovation, they have become leaders and not simply followers. The Visioning Institute represents the very essence of leadership in education."

  • The Visioning Institute Document

    The Public Education Visioning Institute was born from the work and ideas of thirty-five public school superintendents who came together as a community of learners to create a new vision for public education in Texas. It is the Institute's hope that it will inspire others toward the common goal of making public schools better for all Texas children. 
     
    The principles and premises embraced by the Institute are defined in the context of six separate articles:
    Article I: The New Digital Learning Environment
    Article II: The New Learning Standards
    Article III: Assessments for Learning
    Article IV: Accountability for Learning
    Article V: Organizational Transformation
    Article VI: A More Balanced and Reinvigorated State/Local Partnership
