Contact your employing school district for application instructions. If you have not been advised to do so by your employing school district, you may not apply. Your application will not be processed. For high school students, please see the section below titled Educational Aide I Certification for High School Students. \r\n\r\nApplying for an Educational Aide Certificate\r\nOnce you have been advised to do so by your employing school district, you will need to set up your online TEAL and ECOS accounts.\n\nThe State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC)-issued Educational Aide I certificate is utilized for purposes of awarding industry-based certification (IBC) to qualifying high school students. The rules specific to issuance of the Educational Aide Certificate can be found in Chapter 230. Professional Educator Preparation and Certification, Subchapter E. Educational Aide Certificate.  Applicants for an educational aide certificate are subject to the provisions in §230.11(b)(1)-(4) of this title (relating to General Requirements). The completion of the criminal history review, which includes the fingerprinting process is a general certification requirement for all SBEC-issued certificates (e.g., educational aide, intern, probationary, one-year certificate, standard certificate, and emergency permit).\n\nWhile the current Educational Aide application was not designed to meet the needs of the Educational Aide I certificate for high school students, school districts may utilize the application for such purpose.  Students will select the appropriate district in the drop-down list for the employing school district when completing the application.  While the district may not actually be employing the students, they must still make the selection for the application to process.  TEA understands the dual use of the educational aide application."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://tea.texas.gov/texas-educators/certification/becoming-an-educational-aide-in-texas","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}}}
