🗨 What Texas Educators Are Saying

“Stafford MSD began incorporating elements of Texas Home Learning products during the spring semester. Based on what we have observed, we are interested in piloting more of the programs during summer school. After implementing Amplify’s curriculum in 5th-grade reading, our scores increased by roughly 20-points between benchmarks. With growth like this, our district believes that TEA has identified a curriculum that can significantly impact the learning of our students.”
