TEACHERS TALKED.
WE LISTENED.
WE’RE TAKING ACTION.

TEACHERS ARE THE HEART OF OUR SCHOOLS

Raise Your Hand Texas believes a strong teacher workforce is essential to ensure all students can thrive. We know the effectiveness and diversity of our teachers are crucial to the long-term success of our students and the state’s economy as our state is facing unprecedented teacher shortages.

Raise Your Hand Texas supports elevating the teaching profession, attracting and preparing a strong teacher workforce, and retaining quality educators in the field. We are dedicated to advocating for and alongside teachers, recognizing their vital role in the success of Texas. With their unique and valuable perspective on education policy, it is imperative that their voices are heard in statewide advocacy efforts. To ensure direct connection, Teacher Specialist, JoLisa Hoover, was appointed to advocate for teachers and to elevate teacher voices at the Capitol.
