Founded by Educators, Proven in Texas Classrooms

Combining 60+ Years of Instructional Expertise to Empower the Next Generation of Scholars.

With over 60 years of combined educational experience, our founders—Berta (Bertie) Lopez and Diane Flores—have dedicated their careers to empowering educators and students. We believe that with the right tools, resources, and training, a real difference can be made for EVERY STUDENT, EVERY TEACHER, EVERY ADMINISTRATOR, EVERYDAY!

Through innovative curriculum design, hands-on learning experiences, and proven professional development strategies, TAG2 brings stories to life and transforms classrooms into engaging learning environments where growth and achievement flourish.

Our Philosophy

We believe that by instilling the growth mentality, the bridge to decreasing the learning loss is possible for students, teachers and administrators. We will work with district leaders, campus administration, and teachers to conduct data studies (if requested) to personalize and differentiate professional development and support the learning loss in the areas of Math and English Language Arts (ELAR).

Growing our leaders is also a must! We will provide techniques and proven successful strategies, based on Effective School Framework (ESF) to support an effective Instructional Coaching Model and build on the instructional knowledge of Assistant Principals and Principals.
