The dyslexia requirement — already built into every course
Texas rule 19 TAC §232.11(c)(1) says it plainly: “All educators must receive CPE training regarding educating students with disabilities. This training must include information particular to educating students with dyslexia.”
Every Texas course here includes the Texas Module: Educating Students with Disabilities and Dyslexia — three lessons, a resource guide, and a short quiz covering what every Texas educator is responsible for under IDEA and Section 504, how Texas defines, screens for and identifies dyslexia, and the new research and practices since 2023 (the current research definition, recent intervention studies, and TEA’s own guidance on assistive technology). Texas allows this requirement to be satisfied through an online course (Texas Education Code §21.054(c)).

Texas Educator FAQ
Yes. For Teachers By Teachers is a TEA-approved continuing professional education provider, provider number 910094. One thing worth knowing: TEA approves providers, not individual courses, so no course anywhere is “TEA-approved” on its own. What the provider number tells you is that the agency has vetted who is delivering your CPE.
Under 19 TAC §232.11, classroom teachers complete 150 CPE clock hours in each five-year renewal period; principals, counselors, superintendents, librarians, educational diagnosticians and reading specialists complete 200. Each course here is 45 clock hours — four courses clear 150, and the five-course bundle delivers 225. Your own certificate’s requirements are always the final word; TEA publishes them at tea.texas.gov.
Every Texas course here includes the Texas Module: Educating Students with Disabilities and Dyslexia — the training on educating students with disabilities, with information particular to dyslexia, that 19 TAC §232.11(c)(1) requires of all educators, including the new research and practices the rule calls for. Texas allows this requirement to be satisfied through an online course (Texas Education Code §21.054(c)).
When you finish and send your completion email, we email you a certificate listing the provider name and provider number (910094), your name, the date you completed the course, the content of the course, and 45 clock hours — every item 19 TAC §232.21 requires a provider to document. Keep it with your renewal records; Texas asks educators to maintain documentation of completed CPE (19 TAC §232.16). We also keep a record of your completion for seven years. Need a replacement copy of your certificate later? Email us and we’ll reissue it.
