TEA and the University of Texas Systems created all training; the purpose is to address the components and features of standards for Texas students. Included are the English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR) and Spanish Language Arts and Reading (SLAR) Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), which were adopted in 2008 and will be implemented beginning with school year 2009 - 2010, and the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) as well as the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS).

The Trainer of Teachers (ToT) workshops are designed for teams; you might choose to send a grade K - 2 person, a grade 3 - 5 person, a grade 6 - 8 person, a grade 9 - 12 person, and a billingual/ELL person. We strongly suggest that at least one person be well-versed in technology. This training will also benefit special education teachers responsible for the ELA/Reading TEKS. A maximum of 15 persons per district will be accepted. These workshops will provide a CD with all materials for replication in your district. Each session is three days in length. Participants are expected to attend all three days from 9:00a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Individual teachers are welcome to attend two days of training at their specific grade level.
