Texas teachers must finish a 60-hour course to keep their jobs. It’s taking some 120 hours to finish

Texas teachers say they’re pushed to brink by law requiring them to spend hours in unpaid training

But teachers and public education advocates alike believe the state should hold itself accountable for the teacher departures, especially when adding requirements that add to teacher workload.

That extra certification allows teachers to teach early childhood education all the way to 12th grade. Meredith Connely, an elementary visual arts teacher in the Leander Independent School District, paid almost $200 and took an exam to receive her all-level certification. And the TEA also informed K-6 teachers who have passed the The Science of Teaching Reading Exam that they can take a shorter version of the course. The TEA website used to say that teachers needed the all-level certification to be exempt and at least one TEA employee notified a teacher that they needed that certification.

While teachers would rather not do this on their own time, Jolliffe believes the course content has value and can help students with their reading skills.
