The SBEC’s Effective Preparation Framework (EPF) aims to define the highest leveraged practices that effective Texas educator preparation programs strive to implement daily. The EPF has been developed in response to a desire from the SBEC and the field to define a Texas vision for high-quality educator preparation and support EPP continuous improvement. Since Spring 2021, TEA staff have collaborated with the SBEC and stakeholders to develop EPF 1.0, a framework that distinguishes effective preparation practices that yield improved outcomes for school children, future educators, local school districts, and EPPs.

• EPP Standards Support page: EPP Standards Support | Texas Education Agency 
• The EPP Standards Support page includes resources to support Educator Preparation Programs (EPP) in aligning curriculum to the revised Classroom Teacher Pedagogy Standards in 19 TAC Chapter 235, Subchapter C. 

An EPP rated "accredited" by SBEC may apply to offer new certification fields, classes, or clinical teaching by submitting the appropriate documents to the TEA. The addition of new classes requires approval by the SBEC.  

Interested EPPs should complete the Application Request Form for SBEC-Approved EPPs to request applications for new certificates, certificate classes, amendments, alignment charts, and/or test frameworks.  

An Educator Preparation Program may amend its program. Reference the requirements to do so in 19 TAC §228.17(a)-(b). The EPP must submit notification of a proposed amendment in a letter signed by the EPP's legally authorized agent or representative that explains the amendment, details the rationale for changes, and includes documents relevant to the amendment.  Interested EPPs should complete and submit the Application Request Form for SBEC-Approved EPPs to request amendment materials.   

Application for Out-of-State or Out-of-Country Clinical Teaching, Practicum, or Field-Based Experience
An EPP may apply to the TEA for approval to offer clinical teaching, practicum, or field-based experience at a site outside the state of Texas or outside of the U.S. in schools recognized by the U.S. State Department of Overseas Schools. Reasons for an out-of-state or out-of-country placement include: 

(A) military assignment of candidate or spouse; 
(B) illness of candidate or family member for whom the candidate is the primary caretaker; 
(C) candidate becomes the primary caretaker for a family member residing out of country; or 
(D) candidate or spouse transfer of employment. 
Reference the requirements regarding an out-of-state or out-of-country placement  in 19 TAC §228.63(d) & (f)-(g). Interested EPPs should complete the form to request application materials. 

Field-based experiences (FBE), clinical teaching, internship, and practicum experiences at Department of Defense Activity (DoDEA) schools, wherever located, and all schools accredited by the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission (TEPSAC) do not require prior TEA approval. 

Interested EPPs should complete and submit the Application Request Form for SBEC-Approved EPPs to request out-of-state/out-of-country application materials.
