The mission of the Insight to Impact (I2I) Dashboards is to support educator preparation programs (EPPs) in their continuous improvement. Since April marked the second anniversary of their debut, it seemed like an opportune time to reflect on the dashboards’ progress and future.
The timeline below provides a guide to where the dashboards have been and are going:
What Has Happened
April 2023: The Texas Education Agency (TEA) launched the I2I Dashboards in April 2023 to provide EPPs with valuable data about their teacher candidates and programs to better inform their practice and outcomes.
June 2023: After the launch, TEA invited EPPs to form a Dashboard Governance Committee (DGC), which meets quarterly to review issues, enhancements, and updates to the dashboards and support materials.
October 2023: The Professional Roles Dashboards were released for professional certifications, including principals, counselors, librarians, educational diagnosticians, and reading specialists.
October 2024: The Charles Butt Foundation (CBF) conducted a third-party preliminary analysis of dashboard users with EPPs, publishing their findings in this presentation. TEA used these findings to inform a plan for future updates, communications, and trainings.
July 2025: The DGC will have their next quarterly meeting to discuss the I2I Dashboards and support materials.
September 2025: After the closure of ASEP submissions, the I2I team will be kicking off a statewide training series to support various user types in a range of training topics.
The visual below outlines the timeline for the I2I training series:
October 2025: The I2I team will present at the CSOTTE conference.
March 2026 (Tentative): The latest extension of the I2I Dashboards, the observation dashboards, is tentatively scheduled for release.
