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.

iStation	Yes	No

Texas SUCCESS in Northside

Texas SUCCESS in Northside

I wanted to take a moment to share something with you all called Texas SUCCESS. This is a state initiative you all might have started hearing about on your campuses. It includes access to Istation Reading and Think Through Math. Here's a little bit about Texas SUCCESS.

Texas SUCCESS provides state-funded access to interactive math and reading programs for Texas public school students in grades 3-8. These engaging and interactive online programs support students at all skill levels and, most importantly, encourage and enable progress and achievement as they move through the activities and curriculum.

The Texas Education Agency and Education Service Center, Region 20 are excited to provide access to Istation Reading and Think Through Math. Istation Reading is a computer-based adaptive learning system that provides research based reading instruction. Think Through Math is an adaptive online learning program that deepens students’ understanding of critical math concepts and problem-solving skills. (About Texas SUCCESS)

The district has started FIRST with Think Through Math.

We have just completed a two week pilot with Think Through Math at four campuses: Powell, Blattman, Los Reyes, and Ross. The pilot was VERY successful and now it is ready to roll out to all elementary and middle schools.

There will be a few campus-based staff helping to support both Texas SUCCESS programs...

On elementary campuses, School Admin Accounts will be created for Principals, Vice Principals, Math Specialists, MSDs, and CITs.

On middle school campuses, School Admin Accounts will be created for Principals, Academic Deans, and CITs.

As a School Admin for Think Through Math you will have access to help teachers add and remove students, if needed. You will also have access to view class and campus reports if you find your campus administrators are in need of assistance.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I am a few steps ahead, BUT am truly learning about this along with all of you. Kuddos to the four pilot schools. Those schools did an excellent job getting kids started and excited about Think Through Math. This morning at the principals meeting I was able to hear the principals from the pilot campuses speak to their experiences so far with Think Through Math and their testimonies were really positive. I know the other principals are really excited to get this rolling on their/your campuses now :)

I wanted you to know what I communicated to elementary and middle school principals today...here is a link to that blog post.
TTM - Account Information
TTM - Best Practice

These resources will help you understand the timeline of roll out (district uploads beginning tomorrow) and other details I think are helpful. As I learn more, I will continue to share it out with you all.

Also, please know Math Specialists attended a Think Through Math overview last week during their Math Specialist meeting.

Your role will just be as an additional support person, if needed.

FYI on Istation Reading...Istation is entering a pilot stage with same campuses that piloted Think Through Math. I will keep you updated on that pilot and when it looks like that one will be rolling out as well.
