All certification providers in the state must adhere to the\u00a0<\/span>Texas Education Department<\/span><\/a> (TEA) regulations. <\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>TEA<\/span><\/a>\u00a0recently revealed that school districts have hired more candidates from the Texas Teachers of Tomorrow alternative teacher certification program than any other teacher certification program in Texas. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Although AAQEP accreditation is not a requirement, it vouches for the integrity of the Texas Teachers program as it speaks to the quality of education provided to program completers.\u00a0By imposing a set of quality assurance standards, Texas Teachers of Tomorrow can affirm that educators who earn teacher certification through our program are prepared with the requisite skills to successfully enter the teaching profession.
