Teach Us Texas

Teach Us Texas offers a comprehensive curriculum that bridges teaching theory with practice. A dedicated faculty member leads each course, providing personalized feedback and support for professional growth. The curriculum is thoughtfully structured and complemented by visually engaging content, formative assessments and a culminating case study.

The program consists of four blocks:

• Block 1: Four foundational courses, including certification exam preparation.
• Block 2: Focus on digital literacy and literacy for all.
• Block 3: Courses on instructional strategies and fair assessments.
• Block 4: A capstone course supporting hands-on practice during your internship.

Your 10-month internship meets the experience requirements for Texas.

It also includes:

• Training for each mentor teacher assigned to support you.
• Field supervisors that will help you throughout your internship and give you feedback through formal and informal observations.

As part of the program, you will engage in reflective practices designed to help you continuously improve your teaching strategies. You will also learn:

• How to apply different teaching strategies
• How to create a classroom environment that supports diverse student needs
• How to use data to inform your teaching practices

Teach Us will match you with an academic advisor upon enrollment. In an initial meeting, you will set time-bound goals for:

• Course completion
• Certification exam approval
• Intern and standard certification

Your academic advisor will monitor your progress and is available for conferencing throughout the first three blocks of your program.

You will be assigned a Teach Us field supervisor and a campus mentor teacher during your internship. Working with your campus administrator (a.k.a principal), your field supervisor and campus mentor will:

• Involve you in the process
• Provide clear and aligned support
