If you are an employee with Conroe ISD and need to add or update areas to your current certification, please email HRRequests. Your official certification will be verified with TEA, and updates will be made in the Conroe ISD system. TEA does not notify Conroe ISD if you make changes, update, or renew your certificate.

Federal, state, and local guidelines require an employed Educational Aide to hold a valid Educational Aide Certificate. The Educational Aide Certificate is no longer available for renewal. The employee must submit an application and the $17 fee for the new 2-year, non-renewable Educational Aide Certificate on the Texas Education Agency website through the TEA Educator TEAL account.

FBE hours can include passive observing of a teacher modeling effective practices to improve student learning. Experiences may also involve directly practicing skills with students. Participants looking to complete FBE hours with direct student interactions may not self-select activities but instead must follow the direction of the classroom teacher as to what best serves student learning.

Friendly Reminders:

• Completing FBE hours is not the time to look for a job. Please do not contact principals to schedule interviews, etc.

• Please avoid disturbing the learning process and/or campus procedures.

• Please demonstrate professional behavior.

• Please wear professional attire.

Thank you for your interest in completing FBE hours in Conroe ISD!
