When you are applying for access to ECOS in TEAL, you may notice two ECOS applications in the list of available applications. (See Accessing ECOS If Your Account Is Not Linked for more information.) These two ECOS applications are as follows:
ECOS Educators: an integrated technology system that allows educators to apply for their certification, review the status of pending applications for certification, review their own examination history, and view or print existing certificates through a secure portal.
ECOS Entities: an integrated technology system that allows educator preparation programs or public school personnel to review educators' applications, certifications, or examination records through a secure portal, as well as recommend educators for certification and emergency permits
Texas educators will almost always select ECOS Educators as the appropriate application.
