Reading Academies 11 Registration Process

Texas Reading Academies logo

Reading Academies 11 uses the Preregistration Playbook as part of their registration process.

The purpose of the Reading Academies 11 Preregistration Playbook is to support districts in identifying the best reading academies implementation pathway for your district as well as to ensure a smooth preregistration process. Reading Academies 11 strongly encourages you to use the playbook to gather all information needed before beginning the online preregistration process.

Once districts have preregistered, Reading Academies 11 will share more information on participant registration, contracts, and other logistical information.

All districts are strongly encouraged to visit both the "Implementation Options" and "Content Options To Consider By Role" sections in order to ensure that your district has the most up-to-date Reading Academies information before beginning the preregistration process.

Implementation Options

Districts can opt to contract with an Authorized Provider for both logistical and content support, or implement locally. Whichever you select, teachers will be enrolled in Comprehensive (in-person) content. Administrators still have the option to enroll in Blended (online) content through ESC Region 16.

Any district implementing locally must work with Reading Academies 11 to ensure that all Cohort Leaders hired by the district have passed the TEA Cohort Leader screening process. For more information on the screening process, please visit the TEA Cohort Leader Screening Process webpage. In addition, the Texas Education Agency will reopen the Authorized Provider application in December of 2020. At that point, your district can apply to serve as your own Authorized Provider.

More information about this process can be found on the TEA Reading Academies webpage.

Content Options to Consider by Role

Currently, there are three content tracks from which to choose. During the preregistration process, you will be asked to share how you plan to implement Reading Academies in your district and to list the number of teachers you plan to enroll in each content track.

  1. English Language Arts: Designed for teachers who provide instruction in English; special emphasis in English Language acquisition is woven throughout this material.
     
  2. Spanish Language Arts: Designed for teachers who provide instruction in Spanish. (Content is facilitated in English but provides specific information related to Spanish literacy acquisition. In addition, videos and student work samples will be provided in Spanish.)
     
  3. Administrator: Designed for participants in leadership roles. (This content track follows the same scope and sequence of the previous tracks but provides the framing for the content from a site decision-making perspective. Administrators will also complete artifacts that are specific to their roles.)
    • NOTE: Due to the focused nature of the content, this track is only available through the ESC Region 16 Authorized Provider as a blended option.
