TEACH Project

Our online alternative certification program is designed to train those who have earned any bachelor's degree in a content area outside the field of education to become teachers. We strive to be the most effective and accessible path for teacher certification in south Texas!

EFFECTIVE
The TEACH Project will prepare you for work in diverse school settings. Whether you want to work in rural or high-poverty areas, we train you to effectively meet the educational needs of today's students.

FLEXIBLE
All of our classes are offered online in a streamlined program so you can complete your coursework anywhere, anytime and finish a 30 hour program in as short as 14 months.
The program includes a field experience component and mandatory attendance to monthly professional development workshops. 

SUPPORTIVE
By the start of the academic year, you can begin your first year as a teacher in a school in south Texas and receive a first year teacher's salary. In the spring, you will continue your teaching career with ongoing scheduled university supervision and mentor support. We'll keep you informed of new job openings so you can secure employment while you complete your training. Students who work in some of our "high needs" school districts may be eligible to earn a $3,000 stipend and iPad.
