Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. We welcome all administrators, specialists, coaches, teachers, and caregivers of children ages birth to five. Our attendees come from a variety of programs including state, federal, and private organizations. The TSR Institute is a unique opportunity to hear from leading researchers and early childhood trainers, and registration is FREE for all attendees.
Please note, registration does not include hotel rooms or travel expenses. We were unable to reserve a block of rooms for attendees at the conference hotel, and cannot provide a discount code.
We are looking for volunteers to serve as session facilitators. Facilitators help control traffic in and out of the session and provide attendees with QR Codes that show attendance on their clock hour certificates. Please indicate on your registration form whether you’d like to serve as a volunteer.
Please note, hotel rooms and travel expenses are not included with registration.
We will award all professional development certificates for the TSR Institute through the certificate generation tool on the Texas Early Childhood Professional Development System (TECPDS). All attendees will receive certificates from the conference via email and sent directly into their personal Workforce Registry accounts (part of TECPDS).
All participants are required to have an active TECPDS account prior to registering for the TSR Institute. Entering your personal TECPDS ID is a required field on the registration form. Accounts are available at no cost.
