Joint Strong Foundations Milestones
Past due: Readiness Assessment: This survey is required by LEAs to submit to TEA. If you have contracted with an LEA, you can see if they have completed this step on the NEW AP Dashboard for our organization, under the column “Readiness Inventory Survey” on the Contracted Planning LEA Deliverable Report.
Executed Contracts are due May 17, 2024. Once you have a contract with an LEA, have them upload their Executed Contract to their Google Drive Folder and share their Google folder link with you.
-
When you have access to the Planning LEAs Google Folder, please fill out the Deliverables Form with the link to the Executed Contract and the email address of the AP District Lead who is leading the planning work with that LEA. If an LEA you are supporting needs us to send their Google Folder link to them again, please have them reach out to us with that request at strongfoundations@tea.texas.gov.
-
Note: Strong Foundations Planning and Strong Foundations Implementation have individual Deliverables Forms. Please ensure you are only turning Planning deliverables into the Planning Deliverables Form and implementation deliverables into the Implementation Deliverables Form.
-
Note: Strong Foundations Implementation: Given the recent errata, we know that contracts may not be completed by May 17. Please work with your LEA partners to submit executed contracts as soon as possible.
(Optional) Office Hours – Have questions? Need support? Join the SFP and SFI teams in Office Hours offered the second and fourth Monday of every month. May 13 and 20, 9:00–9:30 a.m. CT - Registration Link

RBIS Redelivery to LEAs: Approved Providers must follow this new process.
RBIS LEA Redelivery Form: Once you have contracted with an LEA, please work with them to schedule the Redelivery of the RBIS training to their committee. Once you know when you are redelivering the RBIS you must submit the RBIS LEA Redelivery Schedule with that plan before redelivery.
SY 24/25 LEA Pre & Post RBIS Survey Form: During your RBIS redelivery to an LEA please use this new RBIS Pre & Post Survey it is to use used before the redelivery and directly after the completion of the redelivery.
IMPORTANT RBIS UPDATE: We have learned that the May 14-16 will include the UDL updates, so any trainers who attend the May 14-16 training will NOT need to register for and take the RBIS refresher that is scheduled to drop May 31st. We apologize for any confusion.

May surveys for leaders, teachers and coaches will be available from Friday, May 10 to Friday, May 31. This will be the last quarterly survey of the program and will provide extremely helpful feedback for us to improve our programming and supports offered to our LEAs. The survey will be both available via a direct email sent to LEA contacts and in their TEALearn. Please encourage your LEA partners to check their email and TEALearn inbox on May 10th for a link to take the survey. Thank you for your continuing support!

Diagnostic Training Update:
The SFP Current State Analysis Diagnostic Training is currently scheduled for June 17th & 18th. The training duration has been reduced to one, three-hour training. All SFP Approved Provider District Leads must attend this training and pass a certification quiz. The SFP Approved Provider District Lead can choose to attend the June 17th session from 9:00-12:00 or the June 18th session from 1:00-4:00. During the training we will share the latest guidance and resources for conducting a high-quality current state analysis. We will also outline what the Academic Review is and how to determine if a district you support could benefit from it during the Strong Foundations Planning grant cycle. The training length has been adjusted based on your feedback regarding training length and a shift in agency strategy for the diagnostics workstream.
RBIS Training Update:
Summer registration for RBIS ToT training is currently open and some sessions are filling up quickly! Make sure to register your personnel for one of the 4 trainings available here. For the sake of space, please limit your organization’s registrations to no more than 12 facilitators per training session.
