WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO APPLY:

Individuals whose degree(s) / certificate(s)/ credential(s) are from outside the country, will need to have these documents evaluated by a credential evaluator accepted by the State Board For Educator Certification, SBEC. Please contact the Human Resources Dept. or visit the SBEC website at: sbec.state.tx.us, to obtain a list of these service providers. These services MUST include a translation, an evaluation and course- by- course analysis with the Grade Point Average. The credential evaluators will charge a fee for their services.

If you are a certified teacher in your country, the Test of Spoken English (TSE) is also required. The TSE is offered worldwide and you can obtain information from their website, www.toefl.org.

The evaluation of credentials and a score of 50 or above on the Test of Spoken English, are initial requirements necessary to process the application and to determine eligibility. If you are a certified teacher in your country, upon employment the SBEC will review your evaluation / credentials and will require additional information to determine reciprocity.

THERE ARE NO DISTRICT FEES REQUIRED FOR PROCESSING THE EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION.
