Students are to select a content area to satisy Support Field Electives on their teacher certification degree plan. These support field electives are to assist students in gaining coursework experience to better be able to become certified in a second content area after graduation. All support field electives must be from the same subject area to satisfy degree requirements. Students are not required to take all hours listed in the subject areas below, just enough to satisfy support field electives. Students must select one course from each grouping within the support field area. Courses taken to satisfy degree plan requirements cannot count towards support field electives (indicated in bold or italics).

Preliminary Criminal History Reviews for Educator Certification Candidates

Effective November 1, 2010 the Texas Education Agency will begin offering Preliminary Criminal History

Reviews for Educator Certification Candidates for a non-refundable fee of $150.00. This optional

service will allow those individuals who are contemplating obtaining a Texas Teacher Certificate in the

future, the opportunity to have a review of an existing criminal history performed by agency staff. The

review will be based solely on information provided by the candidate and will result in a non-binding

opinion issued by the agency as to whether or not the candidate would be eligible for Texas Teacher

Certification at the time of the evaluation. This process does not preclude a candidate from being

required to submit to a national criminal history review as required by statute at the time of application

for educator credentials.

For more detailed information for the service, including all necessary forms and instructions, visit the

following link for Frequently Asked Questions on the TEA website:
