ISTE+ASCD in Texas

Texas educators are leading through extraordinary growth and change, strengthening instruction, navigating an AI-shaped future, and meeting the needs of all learners. ISTE+ASCD supports that work with professional learning focused on Texas priorities, from high-quality instructional materials and literacy and math instruction to preparing students for a rapidly evolving workforce.

Professional Learning That Supports Texas Priorities

From AI Policy to Classroom Practice

As Texas moves from AI policy to practice, GenerationAI offers free, credentialed AI professional learning — educator-designed and built for Google and Microsoft ecosystems already used in Texas districts.

The Frameworks Behind the Tech Apps TEKS

ISTE+ASCD's standards are embedded in Texas education — cited by TEA work groups as reference frameworks for the Technology Applications TEKS, at both the curriculum and teacher preparation levels.

Build Coherent Campuses, District-Wide

A competency-based pathway for CAOs, principals, and coaches, with three role-based tracks and district cohort options to build coherent instructional culture school-wide.

Support New Texas Teachers from Day One

ISTE+ASCD's instructional frameworks and PD pathways give districts and EPP partners the structured, ongoing support to help new teachers grow from day one through year three.

Profile of an AI-Ready Graduate™

Texas educators are redefining what readiness looks like for their students in the age of AI. The Profile of an AI-Ready Graduate™ names what success looks like — not which tools students use, but what they can do: investigate, synthesize, connect across differences, and communicate with purpose. A clear vision for the work Texas classrooms are already doing.

Texas Educators Leading with AI

“We need to ensure we have a process that reaches every student, allowing each one to respond and receive feedback.”
–Selami Bingol, Dean of College and Career, Harmony School of Innovation, Harmony Public School

  • Selami Bingol, joined the first cohort of GenerationAI's Communities of Practice for building leaders.
  • Teacher agency was central to the pilot's success: teachers set their own questions and rubrics, keeping AI in a supporting role.
  • Selami used Google NotebookLM and Canva AI to streamline classroom observation feedback and support staff — tools already embedded in Texas districts.
