Ground Rules

1. Each ISD is affiliated with and helped to select the seminars to be offered at one of the UNT campuses. Teachers will enroll in seminars at the campus with which their ISD is affiliated. The campus affiliations are as follows.
   

   Denton Campus: Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Denton ISD DeSoto ISD Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD Grand Prairie ISD Lake Dallas ISD Little Elm ISD Fort Worth Campus: Fort Worth ISD

2. Each ISD has a set number of places for teachers in each TAS seminar. Nomination of teachers occurs through a coordinator at each ISD. Teachers, please submit your applications to the following individuals.
   

   Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Denton ISD DeSoto ISD Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD Fort Worth ISD Grand Prairie ISD Lake Dallas ISD Little Elm ISD Edward Chevallier Ray Braswell Larry Davis Steve Williams Dorothy Thomas Loraine Morazzano Dawn Angove Robert Keener

3. Selection of teacher participants for each TAS seminar occurs at least three weeks before the beginning of each seminar. Teachers will receive a letter of welcome and acceptance that may include an advance assignment from the instructor ten days before the seminar. In cases of illness or emergency, the ISD coordinator may substitute another teacher for the originally selected one. The substitute will attend both of the seminar sessions.
4. Seminar selections are made with consideration of the interests and scholarship of the UNT faculty and the interests and priorities of the affiliated ISDs. If you see an offering on another campus that you would like to see offered on your campus in a future year, be sure to let your coordinator know. The ISD coordinators serve with UNT faculty and administrators as an advisory committee to North Texas TAS. Participating teachers complete program evaluations that influence decisions about format and future direction. We welcome your input!
