Being an online student requires a disciplined routine for studying and completing assignments.  Remember that districts require you to pass the content area test before you can be hired as a highly-qualified teacher.  You are also required to complete 30 hrs. of classroom observations.  15 of the 30 hrs. can be completed by viewing the TxBess videos available for checkout or in-class viewing.  Please call our office for more information about our video-viewing schedule.

Upon being hired as a teacher, you will be given information to complete.  Please let our office know when you have accepted a teaching position so that the hiring process can be expedited.

Again, welcome and please continue ongoing communication for a successful learning process.
