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.
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.
