Public Hearing on Mathematics Instruction Framework
The State Board of Education (SBOE) Ad Hoc Committee on Mathematics Instruction Framework will hold a public hearing beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, July 25, 2025. The public hearing is posted in the SBOE’s agenda. Individuals may register online to provide public testimony starting at 8:00 a.m. (Central Time) on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, and continuing through 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.

Ad hoc committee members are interested in hearing testimony on any of the following topics, in particular:
- Areas in the current TEKS that effectively promote mathematical fluency, conceptual understanding, and skills mastery
- Gaps that exist in the current TEKS that impact long-term retention, problem-solving fluency, and integration of behavioral strategies
- How can the TEKS be updated to support better math scores?
- Do the current standards effectively promote mathematical fluency, conceptual understanding, and functional skill mastery?
- What structural issues exist that may limit the effective implementation of explicit instruction?
- Thoughts on the effectiveness of educator preparation programs in preparing teachers to provide strong math instruction
Additional information regarding registration is provided on the public testimony registration web page. The SBOE meeting can be viewed via live webcast. The webcast will also be archived and available via the same link after the meeting.
