Grant Overview
Texas maintains one of the largest populations of English language learners in the United States, concentrated along the Rio Grande corridor and in the Houston and Dallas metropolitan areas. State education data from 2022 show that 20 percent of K-12 students are classified as English learners, with Spanish as the primary language in over 90 percent of those cases.
Who Should Apply in Texas Researchers and educators focused on bilingual curriculum development qualify when their projects target measurable gains in reading proficiency among Spanish-speaking students in districts such as the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso. Proposals must demonstrate access to Texas Education Agency datasets that track annual progress on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness. Applicants located outside Texas must document partnerships with at least one Texas school district that serves a minimum of 5,000 English learners.
Why these outcomes matter in Texas Bilingual proficiency directly affects high-school completion rates in counties where agriculture and energy extraction dominate the local economy. Districts in the Lower Rio Grande Valley report graduation gaps of 12 percentage points between English learners and native speakers. Projects that produce validated instructional materials therefore address a documented workforce pipeline issue rather than a general educational preference.
Implementation approach Successful applications outline a 24-month timeline that begins with material development using Texas-specific lexical corpora drawn from state-adopted textbooks. Field testing occurs in three districts selected for variation in student-teacher ratios and broadband access. Final deliverables include pre- and post-assessment score comparisons submitted to the Texas Education Agency, ensuring alignment with existing accountability metrics.
Unlike applications from New Mexico or Arizona, Texas reviewers require explicit linkage to the state's bilingual education code and use of STAAR-aligned outcome measures.
