Texas Teachers is targeting a group of interns who are testing in our critical needs areas, with a special focus on Core Subjects EC-6 and 4-8 who have missed 1 or 2 subtests.  Texas Teachers will reach out to these students to invite them to participate in a pilot through Study.com.   The end goal is for them to take the diagnostic test through Study.com.  


Who: Select interns testing in Core EC-6 and Core 4-8 who have failed 1 to 2 subtests.  

When: Email sent to interns starting April 2nd, 2024.  

How Many:  We have a limited number of invitations available so interns should commit to participating as soon as possible.
