District Administrators

Our courses are open to teachers of all grade levels and content areas, administrators, and district support staff. To be reimbursed for the cost of our courses, educators must be from a Texas public school district or open-enrollment charter school. Educators from outside of Texas or from private schools may also enroll, but they do not qualify for the course reimbursement. 

When educators complete a course with UTeach PD, they receive:

• A certificate of completion 
• A digital badge 
• An invitation to our Facebook group where hundreds of blended learning educators share resources daily 
• An invitation to our Blended Learning Resource Library that contains sample station rotation lesson plans, choice boards, playlists, and more 
• Access to our monthly Blended Learning Collaboratives — virtual, synchronous sessions where teachers can come to ask questions, troubleshoot problems of practice, collaborate with other blended learning educators from across the state, and/or share work products from their current or previous courses

Enrollment Process

Districts can enroll as many participants as they’d like. We have cohorts enrolling every month for every self-paced course. Our Success Coach periodically updates district representatives to inform them of participants’ progress. 

The enrollment process is simple: 

• A district representative must complete a District Blended Learning Readiness Survey.* 
• The district representative submits a list of participants with the courses they’d like to enroll in. 
• Our PD Coordinator will submit the survey and list to TEA for a fairly quick approval process. 
• Our Coordinator will then enroll participants into their courses and send them a welcome letter. 

*The Blended Learning Readiness and Progress Rubric from the District Reform Support Network provides a research-based tool that can assist school, district, and state leaders in planning and evaluating the implementation of blended learning initiatives. The constructs and indicators included in this rubric are based on local, state, and national research and public feedback from practitioners, educators, and business leaders.

If you are ready to take the survey, email us at pdinfo@uteach.utexas.edu.

Reimbursement

UTeach PD is a TEA-approved provider of Blended Learning professional development, and the Texas Legislature has provided funding for this initiative. Texas school districts and open-enrollment charter schools will be reimbursed by TEA for the registration cost of coursework completed up to August 2025.  

About one month after enrollment, our PD Coordinator sends an invoice to the district for payment. 

We request reimbursement from TEA based on the invoice payment received and participants’ completion. This reimbursement request begins at the point of the three-month timeframe for completion.
