EMAT Training

EMAT training is required for all new instructional materials (IM) coordinators before access can be granted (Texas Administrative Code §66.107), and annual review of the training is recommended for all IM coordinators.

EMAT Access

EMAT allows for two kinds of users: ordering and view only. Each district is allowed up to three users for each type of access.

This means up to three staff members can have ordering access, which allows them to submit requisitions and disbursement requests through EMAT. A district should appoint a primary EMAT ordering contact and a backup (or two if needed).

Up to three additional staff members can have view-only access, which allows them to view orders and reports in EMAT. (This role is often assigned to a curriculum director or the business manager.)

Get Started with EMAT

1. Complete the EMAT video training on this page prior to applying for EMAT access. This training is required for all new coordinators. Districts are required to maintain records of the training locally.
2. Apply for EMAT access online through the TEA Login (TEAL) page. For more information, read the EMAT Access Prerequisites FAQ.  
3. Superintendents are contacted automatically via email for EMAT requests pending approval. EMAT access requests through TEAL expire after five days if no action is taken. 

EMAT Training Videos

The EMAT training videos are updated on an annual basis to support districts and charter schools in the instructional materials ordering process. All new IM coordinators should view each video and document the completed training locally.

TEA highly recommends that all instructional materials coordinators review the training videos annually to maintain the most current understanding of the ordering process for state-adopted materials, including accessible instructional materials, and the process for requesting allotment funds.
