| WHEREAS, Established in 2013, the Innovation Collaborative | ||
| is a national transdisciplinary forum that aims to foster | ||
| creativity, innovation, and equity in teaching and learning; the | ||

| initiative of the National Science Foundation, National Education | ||
| Association, and the National Endowment for the Humanities; since | ||
| its inception, the collaborative has developed an active Research | ||
| Thought Leaders group consisting of notable researchers in the | ||
| arts, sciences, and humanities, as well as a multi-year national | ||
| research project to identify practices that support creative and | ||
| innovative thinking in kindergarten through 12th grade; moreover, | ||
| the group has delivered presentations at a number of national | ||
| conferences and offered research-based professional STEAM | ||
| development to teachers, administrators, and schools across the | ||
| United States; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Innovation Collaborative benefits from the able | ||
| guidance of its founder and executive director, Lucinda Presley, | ||
| and its strategic advisor, Dr. Jonathan Katz; and | ||
| WHEREAS, True to its mission, the Innovation Collaborative | ||
| has demonstrated an admirable commitment to promoting a diverse, | ||
| equitable, and inclusive society in which students are engaged and | ||
| empowered to become the critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders | ||
| of tomorrow; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 10th anniversary of the | ||
| Innovation Collaborative and extend to all those associated with | ||
| the organization sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be | ||
