Current State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) rules in 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §229.3(f)(4) require each principal who has first-year teachers on his or her campus to complete a survey about the preparation of those first-year teachers. Additionally, SBEC rules in 19 TAC §229.3(f)(5) require all teachers to complete a survey about their preparation at the end of the first year of teaching on a standard teaching certificate. The information provided will assist in improving the preparation of teacher candidates through EPPs.
Prior to the distribution of the surveys, principals and teachers will have access to information posted on the TEA website about the surveys. Additional information regarding the Principal Survey will be emailed to human resources personnel and principals using email addresses in the Texas Education Directory (AskTED). Please confirm with your TED administrator that your district and campus TED contact information has been updated.ÌýÌý
Teachers will receive a link to the Teacher Survey via email sent to the email address they have provided in the Educator Certification Online System (ECOS). Please direct early career teachers to update their email address in their ECOS accounts prior to March 25, 2022.
