About 25,000 interns in either paid or hired status were removed from ECOS the week of 08.07.23.  In doing so we have discovered some active interns who were inadvertently removed as well.


  • These candidates range from 2009-2018 and had no activity in the last 5 years.  This includes no passed exams, no attempted exams, or passed expired exams, no training or field based experience attempted or completed.  
  • If the intern has a passed exam or SMK but did not have any other activity in any area they were included in the group that was removed from ECOS. 


  • These candidates have been removed from ECOS under our claim for A+ Texas Teachers, but will show as active in Prince.  


  • A high priority note has been added to their accounts that reads the following:


Short Term Procedure: 

  • First, check their account for activity.  Check test attempts, training complete dates and FBEs.  If the intern was recently active, please notify lead@texasteachers.org immediately so we can get them reinstated.  


  • If the intern was not active please proceed with the following steps 


  • Before inactive interns may proceed with test approvals/attempts or field-based experience, online or in-person, they must first send in their official transcripts to transcripts@texasteachers.org.  


  • Once transcripts have been processed, our fulfillment team will notify our stateops department so we can re-claim them in TEA/ECOS.  Fulfillment analyst should email stateops@teachersoftomorrow.org 


  • After our compliance team has re-claimed the intern in TEA,  a new note will be posted to the account indicating the intern can proceed with program requirements.  


This procedure is subject to change 



Talking Points for Advisors: 

  • Intern, due to the inactivity on your account and the amount of time that has passed since you first enrolled, we will need you to send in your official transcripts so we can re-evaluate them for current program requirements.  While you request those and are awaiting the processing you may proceed with any required online courses through your portal.  However, you will not be able to work on field based experience or your testing until we have processed your official transcripts.  
  • But Why? I already sent you official transcripts when I enrolled! We work to keep your private information safe and secure. We do this by minimizing the the length of time we store your personal information like your official transcripts.  Any account with inactivity in the last 5 years was removed from our admission records in TEA.  You  may still proceed with the program, we will just need your official transcripts so we can update your activity in the program and reclaim you under our program in TEA.
