Texas Gateway Update
The Texas Gateway site will be temporarily closed for maintenance at midnight on February 17, 2020 and is expected to reopen by early March 2020. We apologize for the inconvenience during the transition process, and TEA will actively provide updates through our Digital Learning mailing list as new information is available. To sign up for updates, please subscribe to the Digital Learning mailing list (here). Additional information related to Gateway supports is provided below.

Gateway Courses Transition 
The Texas Gateway Courses professional development platform will transition to a new learning management system. As a result, the following online Gateway courses will be closed, and educators will no longer be able to enroll in the courses on the Gateway site (link to impacted course list). TEA will release additional information in the coming weeks to provide directions for how educators can access courses in a new environment. This transition should not impact summer professional development schedules given the highest volume of participants complete courses at that time. If you are not currently enrolled in a course, you will not be able to enroll or access course material until the transition process is complete. Participants currently enrolled in courses on the Gateway must complete the following activities to obtain credit prior to midnight on February 17, 2020:

• Complete all lessons and tests
• Download, save, and/or bookmark any helpful documents and resources
• Generate and save a course completion certificate
• Note: Participants who do not complete courses by February 17, 2020 may have to start a course over in the new course system

Gateway Suite of Applications and Resources
The following Gateway applications and resources accessible through the Texas Gateway sign-on (www.texasgateway.org) will be shut down temporarily during the transition process. The site is expected to be available by early March. The suite of applications and resources include the following:

• Texas Gateway Resources, including OpenStax and Study Edge OER
• Texas Lesson Study lessons
• CTE Resource Center
• Machine-readable TEKS portal

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience during the transition process. TEA will provide updates as new information is available through the Digital Learning mailing list (here). Please note, the Gateway Help Desk will be temporarily unavailable during the transition process, but please email txgateway@tea.texas.gov if you have additional questions.
