Objectives and Programs for Teachers

Teacher Certification

  • Our Teacher Certification Program trains, coaches, and mentors professionals as they journey toward becoming certified teachers throughout 16 to 21 months. In our program, candidates receive intensive experience in culture, instruction, planning, and professionalism. Support for content knowledge comes through tutorial modules that candidates can pursue at their own pace.

    We offer a hybrid educational experience with virtual and in-person coursework and personal coaching, supervision, and observation in the field. Candidates are placed with local school districts for their paid internship year and continue to receive support from the program through certification.

    Upon completion of our program, candidates will not only receive a recommendation for their Standard Texas Educator Certificate, but they will also have a keen understanding and awareness of self and student identities. Using this knowledge, they can immediately build authentic relationships in their new classroom to establish critical norms, routines, and practices that lead to student success.
