Thank you TX AEL Distance Education Call Center at TCALL. Adult educators & students, we will share updates as they become available.

Tomorrow marks the final day of TCALL's Texas Adult Education Distance Education Call Center. On Monday, we will proudly pass the baton to Sam Houston State University.

As this chapter comes to a close, I want to recognize and applaud one of the most talented, dedicated teams I have ever had the privilege of working alongside. What began as a vision grew into a service that supported educators and learners across Texas in ways I could never have imagined when we first launched this project.

To our call center team: thank you for your hard work, commitment, innovation, and countless hours of service. Most importantly, thank you for your passion for adult education and for the difference you have made in the lives of so many educators and students.
I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished together and grateful for every one of you. I wish you all the very best in your future endeavors.

And to Sam Houston State University, we wish you continued success as you carry this important work forward and continue providing technical support to Texas Adult Education.

❤️ Thank you for an unforgettable journey. Ashly Winkle TX AEL Distance Education Call Center

“Yeah, Mommy! That’s my mom!” Adult Education is rooted in lifelong learning & impacting generations of learners to never give up on their dreams. TALAE is proud to support Texas adult educators & learners in this important work!

*As if this isn’t already the most beautiful moment, here’s some behind-the-photo info: this little girl was wearing HER kinder graduation sash while she loudly & proudly celebrated her mom for earning her GED. Both of them wearing their cap & gown on the same day. What a beautiful CORE MEMORY for both of them.
