New: Employment Data Set Distribution
Based on requests from the field, TEA makes data sets available to EPPs that contain five years of employment data for finishers. This is our fourth year of providing this data, and we have updated it to include the 2023-2024 employment data. These data sets include TEA IDs, LEA of employment, Campus, Course Assignments, Population Served, and Pay. This data will become available through the ShareFile data locker in early May.
EPPs will receive a notification email once the data has been distributed. For assistance with Sharefile, please view this guide. If you still have questions about Sharefile, please send a Helpdesk ticket.
Please note – while some of this information is available in the Insight to Impact Dashboard, we know that some EPPs use this data in different ways, and we plan to continue this data distribution.
Updated: Insight to Impact Data Dashboards
The TEAL application issue has been resolved. We are working to verify the load of the latest employment and will provide an update when it has been verified.
Reminder: SBEC Approved Teacher Residency Route Application Process - Intent to Submit Survey Link
The “Intent to Submit” Survey is now available for EPPs interested in applying for the SBEC Approved Residency Route at the following link: TEA Intent to Apply: SBEC-Approved Residency Route. Once you complete the survey, you will be provided access to the SBEC Approved Teacher Residency Route Application. If you plan on submitting your application during a 2024-submission window, please complete this before 6/1/2024 (see survey for additional information on submission windows).
TEA will continue to provide communication about the application process through this newsletter, including updates when the recordings from the two previous webinars (Residency Route Explained and SBEC Approved Teacher Residency Route Application Process) and the associated FAQ documents are live on the Program Provider Resources Page.
