The State Board of Education (SBOE) Ad Hoc Committee on Mathematics Instruction Framework will hold an in-person public hearing on Friday, July 25, 2025, at the Travis Building in Austin.

The committee, according to the TEA, is particularly interested in receiving public testimony about:

  • 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?

  • The effectiveness of educator preparation programs in preparing teachers to provide strong math instruction.

The agenda is posted here, and the hearing will be livestreamed (and archived for later viewing) here.
