Texas Reading Academy

No participants can be added or dropped from the TX Reading Academy after October 1, 2020. New hires or teachers who are not currently enrolled will attend the TX Reading Academy in the 2021-2022 school year.

Participants who score below an 80% on any Module Check for Understanding will need to continue to reattempt the CFU until the score is 80% or higher. For participants who score below an 80% on Module Post-test, it is highly recommended that you complete the extra credit activity for that module to ensure that you maintain above an 80% for the course. Extra Credit activities will be released in the coming weeks.

Tips for Success:

• Use the study guides for each module (included in the PPT) as note-taking guides and/or review prior to completing the post-test.
• Attend an open zoom meeting or specific support meeting with your cohort leader to get support or ask questions.
• Take your time as you proceed through the content to ensure that you have adequate time to process the information and implement this learning on your campus.

Reminder: The Teacher Reading Academy Timeline and the Administrator Reading Academy Timeline contain suggested completion dates for each of the modules. Participants who follow the suggested timeline will be completing about 2 modules a month, which is an estimated time commitment of 6-12 hours a month depending on learning style.
