Original Math Academies

Great news! These sessions are now available to all K-3 teachers and instructional coaches/specialists interested in attending. However, priority registration will be given to teachers and instructional coaches/specialists that work on campuses that have been identified by the Texas Education Agency as a Priority Campus.

A teacher who successfully completes an academy will be eligible to receive a $350 stipend, minus applicable income taxes and payroll deductions. Instructional coaches/specialists may not be eligible for the stipend if attending during contractual hours.

TEA will process payments to school districts and charter schools for disbursement to eligible teachers who completed an academy. Teachers who completed academy training and who submitted a signed verification form accepting the stipend upon completion of the training will receive a stipend.

Once stipend information has been verified and processed, TEA will issue a payment to each school district and charter school that had an eligible teacher complete an approved training. Districts and schools are required to pay teachers the stipend in a timely manner. Districts and schools will be notified of the payment and will be provided a detailed list of the teachers who are to receive the stipend. Correspondence will be sent to the district or charter school superintendent as well as to the district business office at the email address on file in the AskTED system. For questions related to stipend payment, teachers should first contact their district or charter school business office, followed by the ESC responsible for the academy training.
