IT'S HAPPENING -- The 2026 Student Success Summit in Houston is underway. 🚀

In partnership with The Education Trust in Texas, we've convened educators, community partners, industry leaders, and district stakeholders at the Anderson-Clarke Center at Rice University to explore the future of career-connected teaching and learning across the Greater Houston region.

This afternoon, our teacher leaders will share research, advocacy projects, and policy recommendations grounded in the realities of today’s classrooms, helping shape conversations around workforce readiness, AI-driven learning, and student success across Texas.

We’re excited to learn from, collaborate with, and elevate the voices of educators leading this work every day.

“It’s inspiring to be in a setting with motivated people who are devoted to working together in creating solutions that enhance education standards for our current and future crop of students.” — Obinna Ibeh, Houston elementary school teacher and Senior Teach Plus Policy Fellow.

🚀 This Saturday, the Student Success Summit brings together educators, industry leaders, and community partners to help shape what comes next for students across the Greater Houston region.

From workforce pathways to AI-driven learning, the conversations happening in this room are focused on building stronger opportunities for students, and ensuring educator voice remains at the center of the work.
