Adoption & Implementation
Assess district needs and strengthen the adoption and implementation of state-approved high-quality instructional materials (HQIM).
Strengthen LIFT Implementation with Region 4
Leadership & Instructional Foundations for Texas (LIFT) helps school systems build the leadership, instructional practices, and systems needed to successfully implement high-quality instructional materials.
Through Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities (LASO) Cycle 5, eligible school systems can apply for LIFT funding for the 2026–2027 cycle. Region 4 partners with districts to help turn that investment into practical implementation through professional learning, coaching, instructional leadership support, and continuous improvement.
LIFT helps school systems build the leadership, instructional systems, and educator capacity needed to turn high-quality materials into strong, sustainable classroom practice.
Equip district and campus leaders, instructional coaches, and teachers with the knowledge and practices needed to implement instructional materials effectively.
Strengthen classroom observation and feedback practices that help leaders identify what is working and where additional support is needed.
Build coaching structures and leadership capacity that help district and campus teams strengthen practice and sustain progress over time.
