Transition and Employment Designee (TED) Guidelines

This resource is currently being updated to align with the revision of new rules and statutes adopted in the 24-25 school year. Thank you for your patience. Please review the most recent rule changes at the TEA Proposed Commissioner of Education Rules or the TEA Back to School Updates for Special Educators, Administrators, and Other Professionals for more information.

The TED Guidelines provides an overview of the TED role, outlines requirements and recommended practices, includes links to resources, and offers a self-assessment to identify priority areas for building capacity. This resource was updated in March 2024.
