Registration and Payment

Registration

• Registration for the Reading Academies opens about a month prior to the opening of the cohort.

• Teachers and administrators will pre-register via a google form and then receive the registration link for their cohort via email.

• Region 7 ESC will email pre-registration form links to the appropriate contact groups along with important information needed to assist with registration.

• Users will need their 10 digit TEA Unique ID to register. If an educator does not yet have a TEAL profile, refer to this document for assistance. This document will assist users with finding their unique 10-digit ID.

Payment

• There are two options to pay for Reading Academies:

  • Purchase order

  • Credit card

• Critical that teachers know about payment:

  • If district has an MOU with Region 7, then the teacher will not pay when they register.

  • If district is solely using Region 7 ESC as their AP, then the teachers need to know about payment before they register and enroll in courses.

• Funding sources that districts may utilize to pay for Reading Academies include:

  • Early Education Allotment

  • Dyslexia Allotment

  • Basic Allotment

Other possible funding sources:

• • Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS) funds

  • Bilingual Allotment

  • Compensory Education funds

• When school districts pay for academies, the money goes straight to the AP and does not pass through TEA.
