CONSENT AGENDA
DISCUSSION AND ACTION
Texas Government Code, §2001.039, establishes a four-year rule review cycle for all state agency rules, including State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) rules. This item presents for SBEC approval the adoption of review of 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 234, Military Service Members, Military Spouses, and Military Veterans. The rules being reviewed provide requirements relating to preparation, testing, certification, and renewal for all members of the military community.
This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to adopt, subject to State Board of Education (SBOE) review, proposed amendments to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 229, Accountability System for Educator Preparation Programs. Chapter 229 establishes the performance standards and procedures for educator preparation program (EPP) accountability. The proposed amendments would provide for adjustments to the 2019–2020 Accountability System for Educator Preparation (ASEP) due to Governor Abbott's disaster declaration related to COVID-19; would include an accountability indicator for EPPs based on the improvement in achievement of students taught by beginning teachers; would provide an index for the determination of EPP accreditation status; and would provide updates to the ASEP manual. No changes are recommended since published as proposed, but additional changes may be recommended at the time of the meeting based on public comment.
This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to adopt, subject to State Board of Education (SBOE) review, proposed revisions to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 231, Requirements for Public School Personnel Assignments, Subchapter B, Prekindergarten–Grade 6 Assignments; Subchapter C, Grades 6–8 Assignments; Subchapter D, Electives, Disciplinary Courses, Local Credit Courses, and Innovative Courses, Grades 6–12 Assignments; Subchapter E, Grades 9–12 Assignments; Subchapter F, Special Education–Related Services Personnel Assignments; and Subchapter G, Paraprofessional Personnel, Administrators, and Other Instructional and Professional Support Assignments. The proposed revisions would implement the statutory requirements in House Bill (HB) 3, 86th Texas Legislature, 2019, that requires that all master teacher certificates be designated as "legacy" certificates and recognized for assignment purposes until they expire. The proposed revisions would also incorporate courses approved by the State Board of Education (SBOE), would add certificate areas to the list of credentials appropriate for placement into an assignment, and would reorganize current provisions to improve readability and align citations. No changes are recommended since published as proposed, but additional changes may be recommended at the time of the meeting based on public comment.
This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to adopt, subject to State Board of Education (SBOE) review, proposed new 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 239, Student Services Certificates, Subchapter E, Legacy Master Teacher Certificate. The proposed new 19 TAC Chapter 239, Subchapter E, would provide for the requirements and validity period for Legacy Master Teacher certificate holders. No changes are recommended since published as proposed, but additional changes may be recommended at the time of the meeting based on public comment.
This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to approve programs for continuing approval for five years based on the results of the 2019–2020 reviews.
This item provides the SBEC the opportunity to extend the edTPA performance assessment pilot period one year; from September 1, 2021 to September 1, 2022.
According to the Texas Education Code (TEC), §21.038, the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) shall meet at least once in each quarter of the calendar year. The SBEC may meet at other times at the call of the presiding officer or as provided by the rules of the Board. The purpose of this item is to set the regular SBEC meeting dates for 2021.

DISCUSSION ONLY
This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to discuss proposed amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 249, Disciplinary Proceedings, Sanctions, and Contested Cases, Subchapter B, Enforcement Actions and Guidelines Subchapter C, Prehearing Matters, Subchapter D, Hearing Procedures, and Subchapter E, Post-Hearing Matters. The proposed amendments would amend the rule provisions regarding notice to educators of disciplinary proceedings against them by the SBEC to modernize them to include more service by email, to comport with changes the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) has made to its procedural rules, to reduce costs to the agency resulting from certified mailings that are not required by statute, and to clarify the method through which TEA staff will give the educator notice at each stage of educator discipline investigations and proceedings.
