  14. T-STEM Designation Benefits • Recognition as an Approved T-STEM Academy: • Schools designated by TEA as state-approved T-STEM Academies will receive various forms of media recognition including, but not limited to: identification on TEA’s website as a state-approved T-STEM Academy, inclusion on the Texas High School Project’s (THSP) T-STEM Network website (http://www.thsp.org/), and recognition in press releases. • Participation in T-STEM Convenings: • Special events hosted by TEA and the Texas High School Project for T-STEM Academy administrators and principals to provide input on policies and procedures that impact T-STEM Academies. • Membership in the T-STEM Network: • TEA, THSP, and the Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) periodically provide opportunities for principals, teachers, and students in designated T-STEM Academies through the T-STEM network to share best practices through conferences and technical assistance sessions. Membership in the T-STEM Network allows T-STEM Academies to access online exemplars, professional development, and webinars. • Access to Professional Development and Technical Assistance: • Designated T-STEM academies will have access to high-quality professional development and technical assistance including: • Advice and information from a Leadership Coach who has successfully facilitated the design and implementation of the majority of T-STEM Academies operating in Texas. • Opportunities to attend high-quality, effective professional development and training provided by the T-STEM technical assistance provider, THSP and the T-STEM Centers. The training provided by these organizations, which is currently only available to T-STEM Academy grantees, may be offered to designated Academies for free or at a reduced cost. • Strength of T-STEM Model: • Through the designation process, TEA and THSP will recognize those T-STEM Academies that effectively incorporate T-STEM Design Blueprint. The designation process will enable districts and their partners to engage in the research and planning necessary to ensure that their T-STEM Academies are set up in the most effective way possible. • The T-STEM Blueprint provides a framework for T-STEM Academies to access college and career opportunities that support postsecondary success.
