Technology and Academic Requirements for Teacher Candidates

To participate in scheduled Zoom meetings, teacher candidates must have access to their own computer and a high-speed internet connection. A webcam and microphone are recommended and may be required for certain activities. If class or instructor meetings are held, they will take place via Zoom, and participants should join from a quiet location whenever possible. To ensure clear communication, candidates should turn on their video when possible and mute their microphone unless speaking.

Technology Skills and Requirements

Candidates should be proficient in basic computer skills, including sending and receiving emails, managing attachments, using a web browser, searching for resources, downloading and installing software, and utilizing browser plug-ins such as PDF readers and video/audio players. Familiarity with word processing and presentation software (Microsoft Office, Google Docs, or equivalent) is necessary, along with knowledge of common file formats such as .pdf, .rtf, .doc, .docx, and .txt. Additionally, candidates should be able to scan and convert handwritten work into PDF files and demonstrate the ability to learn new technology independently using tutorials, online guides, or support services.

Minimum Computer and Internet Requirements

Operating System: Windows 10 or higher, macOS 10.14 (Mojave) or higher

Candidates will access their coursework through Populi, which must be used with a compatible browser and operating system. Some courses require Proctorio, an online proctoring system, which necessitates specific browser extensions or settings.

Monitoring Academic Engagement and Activity

The institution tracks teacher candidate engagement to ensure success. The LMS records login activity, time spent in modules, and accessed course materials. Instructors can generate reports to review participation, assignment completion, and module engagement.

Learning Assessments and Proctored Exams

Candidates will be assessed through discussion forums, performance-based assessments, professional reflections, and formative/summative assessments. TXITE requires proctored final exams for each course, during which webcam, audio, and desktop activity are recorded. These recordings are reviewed for academic integrity violations, and exam rules will be clearly outlined in the course syllabus.

To complete a proctored exam, candidates must:

Have a functional webcam, microphone, and high-speed internet connection.
Allow the proctoring service to access their webcam and microphone.
Present a valid government-issued photo ID for verification.
Use only one internet browser window during the exam.
Avoid smartphones, tablets, and removable media such as USB flash drives.
Refrain from communicating with anyone other than the proctor during the exam.

Proctors may only assist with technical or administrative issues, and candidates must not receive outside help during the setup or completion of the exam. Any violation of these rules may result in a test violation report and academic consequences.

Identity Verification and Academic Integrity

To uphold academic integrity, candidates are subject to identity verification using personally identifiable information. They must provide their Teacher Candidate ID Number and other requested details when contacting TXITE via email or phone. Faculty and staff may initiate identity verification if unexplained changes in performance or writing style are detected.

Proctored Exams and Accreditation Compliance

Proctored exams serve as an additional identity verification process to meet accreditation requirements. Completing these exams is mandatory for graduation, and failure to do so may result in a failing course grade or suspension of future enrollments until the exam is completed.

Monitoring for Suspicious Activity

Candidates sharing common traits with other TXITE teacher candidates—such as IP addresses, physical addresses, telephone numbers, personal references, or email addresses—may be reviewed for suspicious activity. Candidates found in violation of academic integrity policies may face immediate withdrawal from TXITE and potential reporting to appropriate authorities.

This policy ensures a secure, fair, and high-quality learning environment while maintaining accreditation and institutional integrity.

Academic Integrity and Proctoring Policy

At the Texas Institute for Teacher Education (TXITE), maintaining academic integrity is essential to preparing ethical and responsible educators. Teacher candidates are expected to engage in honest, professional, and ethical academic behavior in all coursework, assessments, and proctored exams. Plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, and other forms of dishonesty compromise the integrity of the program and will not be tolerated. TXITE enforces strict proctoring measures to ensure fair assessments and uphold the credibility of its certification program. Violations of academic integrity or proctoring rules will result in disciplinary action, up to and including program dismissal and reporting to the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Expectations for Academic Integrity

Teacher candidates must demonstrate honesty and professionalism in all academic work by:

Submitting original work and properly citing all sources.
Ensuring that assessments and coursework reflect their own understanding and effort.
Completing individual assignments independently, unless collaboration is explicitly permitted.
Following all proctoring guidelines during assessments.

Prohibited Behaviors

Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to:

Plagiarism: Presenting someone else’s work or ideas as one’s own without proper citation.
Cheating: Using unauthorized materials, receiving unapproved assistance, or sharing test answers.
Fabrication: Falsifying data, research, or citations in academic work.
Collusion: Working with others on assignments or exams intended to be completed individually.

Proctoring and Exam Integrity

All TXITE exams are proctored through Proctorio, a remote proctoring service that monitors exams via webcam, screen recording, and audio capture. This ensures that assessments accurately measure each candidate’s knowledge and skills.

Exam Guidelines

To maintain a fair and secure testing environment, teacher candidates must:

Take exams in a quiet, well-lit room without distractions.
Keep their gaze focused on the screen and hands visible at all times.
Ensure their exam space is free of unauthorized materials, notes, or electronic devices.
Use only one browser window; external devices such as smartphones and tablets are prohibited.
Complete identity verification with a valid government-issued photo ID before starting the exam.

Monitoring and Instructor Oversight

All proctored exams are reviewed by instructors, who assess flagged incidents for potential violations. Candidates suspected of academic dishonesty will be referred to the Program Director for further review.

Steps for Addressing Violations

Incident Documentation:
- Faculty, proctors, or staff document suspected violations, including exam recordings, assignment submissions, or direct reports from candidates.
Initial Review:
- The Program Director reviews the evidence and consults with faculty to determine whether a policy violation has occurred.
Candidate Notification:
- The teacher candidate is notified in writing of the alleged violation and is given an opportunity to respond within five business days.
Resolution Process:
- If the candidate admits fault, a sanction (e.g., academic penalty, probation, or required training) is assigned.
- If the candidate disputes the allegation, the case is escalated to a faculty review panel for further evaluation.
Final Decision & Consequences:
- Candidates found guilty of a first-time violation may receive an academic penalty (failing grade on an assignment or exam), probation, or required ethics training.
- Second-time violations result in immediate program dismissal and removal from the Educator Certification Online System (ECOS).
- Serious offenses (e.g., fraudulent identity verification, use of unauthorized devices, or repeated cheating) will be reported to TEA, potentially impacting future certification.

Support for Academic Success and Integrity

TXITE is committed to helping candidates uphold academic integrity by providing:

Workshops on proper citation, plagiarism prevention, and ethical AI use.
Practice exams to familiarize candidates with Proctorio and exam protocols.
Technical support for candidates encountering issues during proctored exams.

By following these policies, teacher candidates demonstrate their commitment to professionalism, fairness, and ethical conduct, ensuring success in both their academic journey and future teaching careers.

AI Use Policy for Teacher Candidates

This policy provides guidance on the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in coursework at the Texas Institute for Teacher Education (TXITE). AI is encouraged as a tool for enhancing learning and teaching skills, but it must be used appropriately and transparently.

Using AI Responsibly in Assignments

AI can be a valuable resource in research, lesson planning, and skill-building, but it should not be used to generate assignments without the candidate’s own input and understanding. When AI is used, candidates must disclose its role in their work and ensure that assignments reflect their own comprehension and critical thinking.

Required AI Use in Training

Some courses require the use of AI tools to develop teaching skills. These assignments help candidates gain experience with AI technologies that are applicable in educational settings. TXITE provides resources and instructor support to guide candidates in ethically integrating AI into their learning process. Candidates may also be asked to reflect on AI’s impact on education and its potential use in their future classrooms.

Academic Integrity and AI

AI should support learning, not replace independent work.
Any use of AI must be clearly cited, specifying the tool used and how it contributed to the assignment.
Misusing AI to complete assignments without understanding the content is a violation of TXITE’s academic integrity policy.

Ongoing AI Training and Support

TXITE is committed to helping candidates learn AI effectively by offering workshops, tutorials, and guidance on ethical AI use. Candidates are encouraged to stay informed about advancements in AI and provide feedback to improve AI-related training.

Policy Enforcement

Misuse of AI, including failing to acknowledge its use or violating academic integrity standards, may result in loss of AI access, academic penalties, or disciplinary action.

Policy Review

This policy will be regularly updated to reflect new developments in AI and education. Candidates will be notified of any changes.

AI for Professional Development

Understanding Texas Teacher Standards

AI can help candidates master the Texas Teacher Standards, which are crucial for passing the TExES exams and excelling in the classroom by:

Creating personalized study plans based on learning progress.
Simulating real-world classroom scenarios for practice.
Generating quizzes and flashcards to reinforce knowledge.

Preparing for the TExES Exams

AI tools assist with:

Practice tests that mirror TExES exam format and difficulty.
Content review by summarizing textbooks and study materials.
Time management through structured study schedules and timed practice exams.

Getting Ready for the Classroom

AI supports new teachers by:

By integrating AI effectively, candidates enhance their teaching skills, prepare for certification exams, and develop strategies for real-world classrooms while maintaining academic integrity and ethical use.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

SAP ensures that teacher candidates in the Pre-Teaching Program make consistent progress toward completion. The program consists of ten courses, each designed to be completed in four weeks, though candidates may extend their coursework beyond this timeframe by making monthly payments if additional time is needed. To maintain academic standing:

Each course must be completed within six months of registration.
The full program must be completed within two years of initial enrollment.
Missed payments: Candidates will receive payment reminders, but if payments are missed for two consecutive months, course access will be temporarily paused until payments resume.
Administrative withdrawal: If no payments are made for six months, the candidate will be withdrawn from the program and must reapply to continue.

SAP Requirements

To maintain SAP, candidates must meet the following academic and completion standards:

Minimum Academic Performance: Candidates must earn a minimum grade of 70% in each course. Any grade below this is considered failing and does not count toward program completion.
Course Completion Timeframe: Each course must be completed within six months of registration. Failure to do so results in administrative withdrawal from the program.
Program Completion Timeframe: The entire program must be completed within two years. Candidates who exceed this limit will be withdrawn.

Academic Standing & Consequences

Teacher candidates fall into one of three academic standing categories:

Good Standing: Candidates meeting the minimum academic performance and course completion timelines remain in good standing.
Academic Probation: A candidate will be placed on probation if they:
- Earn below 70% in a course.
- Require an extension beyond six months due to extenuating circumstances (subject to appeal).
- To return to good standing, candidates must retake and successfully complete the failed or incomplete course and meet SAP standards in their next course.
Administrative Withdrawal: Candidates will be withdrawn if they:
- Fail to complete a course within six months of registration.
- Fail to complete the full program within two years.
- Stop making monthly payments for six consecutive months.
- Withdrawn candidates may reapply after six months and must pay any applicable re-enrollment fees.

Appeal Process

Candidates facing extenuating circumstances such as a medical emergency or family crisis may submit a written appeal to the program director within ten days of notification. The appeal should include:

A written explanation of the circumstances.
Supporting documentation (e.g., medical records, legal documents).
A plan for regaining SAP compliance.

This SAP policy ensures that candidates make steady progress while allowing flexibility for those needing extra time or facing unexpected challenges.
