2026 Success Summit
  • Tile excerpt The Success Summit serves as a statewide forum for collective learning and action. By bringing together education, research, advocacy, and policy leaders, the Summit creates space to interpret emerging Pathways research findings, understand their implications across sectors, and identify opportunities for coordinated response. The event not only highlights what we are learning, but also showcases how organizations are using that knowledge to improve systems, inform policy, and strengthen outcomes for Texas students and communities. Together, participants will build meaningful connections and help shape the next set of research priorities and actions across the state.

Join us as change-makers talk Texas education.

Leaders with a unique and powerful viewpoint on education data, policy and practice will sit down for one-on-one conversations with Kate Greer of Magnolia Bay Group. In this series, there will be no static PowerPoint presentations only real talk in real time. Together, we’ll learn how well-conceived research can become targeted action. Action that shapes Texas policy and practice and positively impacts a student’s lifetime of achievement.

Our moderator, Kate Greer, a strategic communications consultant brings a background in journalism, a proven track record in advocacy, and a big heart for LONESTARP3. We can’t think of a better person to guide lively discussions about the essential questions.
