Join Us to Provide Feedback on the Fine Arts IMRA Quality Rubric   

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the State Board of Education (SBOE) are seeking feedback on the Instructional Materials Review and Approval (IMRA) draft quality rubric for fine arts, which will be used to evaluate instructional materials beginning in the summer of 2026. The rubric aims to help Texas districts identify high-quality fine arts materials, ensuring all students have access to rigorous content and instruction.

Join a focus group between April 18 – May 22 to share your input by registering for a session that aligns with your role. 

We encourage you to review the Draft Fine Arts Quality Rubric before attending the session to provide the best input possible. 

Feedback can also be submitted online through June using the public comment form.  


Thank you for your commitment to Texas students.
