NEW [Northside Created] TEA Unique ID Search Website

NEW Northside Created TEA Unique ID Search Website


TEA Unique ID Search


All NISD Staff can login to check on the status of a TEA Unique ID and whether it has been assigned.


Several online instructional programs associated with TEA have a required field for a TEA Unique ID. Before student and/or teacher account can be created for these programs, a Unique ID must be assigned to the student and/or teacher and be available for the individual uploads to these programs. 

If a student or teacher is missing an account to one of these online instructional programs, the most common reason is because a Unique ID has not yet been assigned to them. The purpose of this web site is to give you access in determining if a Unique ID has been assigned or not to a student and/or teacher who is missing an account. 

For students, please check the date the Unique ID was assigned. If you see the Unique ID was recently assigned, please allow 2 full days for the student's account to appear in the system in question. 

If a student or staff Unique ID is missing, there are many reasons this may be the case. Human Resources and the PEIMS staff are working to get all staff and students assigned a Unique ID. Check this website frequently for updates.

#nisdengange Google Apps for Education and Students

#nisdengage Google Apps for Education and Students


shared with Elementary C&I large group on Monday, September 8, 2014


Google Apps for Education (GAFE) and students is coming soon!


The GO LIVE date has been set for October 6, 2014.


I wanted to share a bit of information with you on this topic...also to continue the dialog as we dive into all of the awesomeness this opens up for instructional opportunities and learning!


The plan at the elementary level is to integrate exposure for students K-5 to GAFE (Email and Drive) through the ECT rotation lab. This will not happen immediately. We will be working with the ECT group to get them trained and their curriculum updated to include GAFE components. Again, the intention isn't that students will know all of the "ins and outs of GAFE, the teach piece will be ongoing and will include multiple staff members:


Technology Support Specialist - TSS (campus-based, 2 campus split at elementary) - will support teachers and staff with GAFE basics


Elementary Computer Technologist (ECT) (campus-based - facilitate lessons in the rotation lab providing exposure for students K-5 to GAFE (Email and Drive)...this plan will develop over time as we prepare the ECTs and modify their current curriculum to include GAFE


Campus Instructional Technologist (campus-based, 2 campus split at elementary) and Academic Technology Coach (district-staff, 6-7 campus split at elementary) - will support teachers and staff with integrating GAFE and students, how it can look in the classroom, what are the possibilities with students, best practice with students, etc.


As you can see, GAFE is definately going to be supported via a team effort!


Google Classroom will also be an EXTREMELY helpful tool to teachers as we move forward with using Google Apps for Education in the Classroom. Check out this short video overview!
