The Texas Comprehensive Center (TXCC) collaborated with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Center for District and School Support (TCDSS) to spotlight and share best practices of High Performing and High Progress schools, also known as Reward Schools, with other schools in the state.

In Year 5 of the project, TXCC staff provided technical assistance and expertise to TEA on developing surveys and other research instruments based on the Reward Schools case studies that can be implemented with larger samples of high-performing/high-progress Title I schools. This allows TEA to go beyond the limitations of the case study approach (i.e., non-generalizable findings) to gather data and produce findings that are more generalizable to diverse schools in Texas.
