Texas Environmental Education Advisory Committee

Educators may earn an environmental education Certificate of Recognition by receiving professional development from TEEAC providers.

• TEEAC Providers 2023-2024. This list is updated yearly.
• Coursework Verification Form. Once an educator has compiled 45 hours of TEEAC-provided professional development, they may complete an application. 

TEEAC Providers offer professional development to educators and/or environmental experiences to students that incorporate the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The network of TEEAC Providers helps ensure that teacher professional development is educationally rigorous and consistent with the TEKS. The TEEAC Providers list is updated yearly. To be included in the next iteration of the Providers List, or to make changes to your organization’s description or contact information, please complete the Providers List Update Form. To ensure that you receive regular updates, please subscribe to the TEEAC Newsletter. 

To become a TEEAC Provider, an institution must provide professional development to educators and/or provide educational opportunities for Texas students. Providers complete a Program Description Form for each workshop or other program offered to educators. Once complete, return the Program Description Form via email to liz.baker@tea.texas.gov. This will get your institution or program on the TEEAC Providers List. If you are not already a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) provider, please send questions to the CPE Help Desk.

The TEEAC Annual Providers' meeting, held in early January, gathers program representatives from the TEEAC Providers network together with Texas Education Agency staff for cross-disciplinary professional development related to environmental education and other state curriculum issues and initiatives.
