Texas College and Career Readiness School Models (CCRSM)
Preparing Texas Students for a Successful Future
The Texas College and Career Readiness School Models (CCRSM) are open enrollment programs that blend high school and college coursework to help historically underserved and at-risk students develop technical skills, earn college credentials and degrees, and pursue in-demand career paths.
CCRSM Network
The statewide CCRSM network is comprised of over 540 campuses implementing or planning to implement one or more of the following CCRSM programs: Early College High Schools (ECHS), Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (T-STEM), and Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH).
To launch a CCRSM program (ECHS or P-TECH), a district must submit a Planning Year Application to be eligible to open a new CCRSM program, become a member of the TEA's official planning year cohort, and begin serving students the following academic year.

Through the CCRSM network TEA is creating synergies to drive continuous improvement by consolidating these individual models under one umbrella of support. This integrated approach to technical assistance creates efficiencies, spurs cross-model learning, and provides customized support to schools and districts as they implement these models to increase the college and career readiness of their students.
Texas Education Agency (TEA) seeks stakeholders feedback to revise the current 2020 Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) and Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (T-STEM) Blueprints.
Texas Education Agency (TEA) will be holding office hours to address general CCRSM inquiries and program appication cycle questions.
