Transition & Employment Designee (TED) Guidelines & Required Training

The updated TED Guidelines are posted and the online course to meet TED training requirements is now available. 

Texas Education Code §29.011(b) requires each TED to complete minimum training, as established by the commissioner of education.  The TED training requirements have been revised for school year (SY) 2023-24.

By August 31, 2024, educators serving as the TED for a local education agency, including school districts and open-enrollment charter schools, are required to:

1. Complete the two-hour TED Required Training online course available through TEALearn, or

2. Assure the required training was completed during SY 2021-22 or SY 2022-23.

TEDs who completed training previously may submit their assurance of prior training completion. Please note that a sampling of TEDs who submit assurances will be asked to provide proof of completed training, such as a certificate of completion.
