Once you have all of your professional development information added to your profile, it is time to connect your account to your center’s profile. Please note, this is a required step for TRS providers.
This guide will go through the steps to connect to your center. You can also choose to grant access to your center director to view and upload records into your profile on your behalf. Please note that center directors can only add information. They cannot edit or delete any older records.
Step 1: Login to TECPDS and select “Connect to my Center or Organization” on your dashboard. You will see a pop up that asks if you are trying to connect as a Director or Practiitioner. Select Practitioner.
Step 2: Click the “Add a Center” button.
Step 3: On the next screen, you’ll be able to search for the Center or Facility where you work. Find your center in the listing, then click the “Select” button and “Submit.”
Step 4: Practitioners can authorize and un-authorize the Center Director from editing and/or viewing their information at any time. Click the “Authorize to View” and “Authorize to Edit” to change permissions for your Center Director’s access to your account.
- Select “Authorize to View” to allow your center director to view your profile.
- Select “Authorize to Edit” to allow your center director to add professional development and education records on your behalf. (Center directors cannot edit your employment or contact information.)
- Select “Authorize RAP Participation” if you are participating in a RAP program.
Step 5: Click the red trashcan button to disconnect for a center, and remove any access the center director has to view or edit your account. If you start working at a new center, be sure to disconnect from your prior center and connect to your new center.
Step 6: Do you work at multiple centers? Follow these same steps to connect to all your centers.
