The Region 10 Certification Program coursework and curriculum offer a rigorous, robust, and interactive learning experience. Designed with digital-savvy educators in mind, the program incorporates current teaching methodologies, innovative practices, and technology integration aligned with state standards, including TEKS and ISTE standards. Through comprehensive online coursework and field-based experiences, candidates gain the skills and knowledge needed to excel in today’s diverse learning environments.

In addition to our online coursework, we offer a select number of face-to-face courses held at the Region 10 building. These in-person courses provide an opportunity for hands-on learning, direct interaction with instructors, and collaborative engagement with fellow candidates.

Candidates are periodically removed from coursework in accordance with TEA rules requiring the removal of inactive candidates. To maintain active status and ensure continued progress, it is essential to adhere to course timelines, complete assignments promptly, and regularly review feedback.

Each candidate in the Region 10 Teacher Certification Program is emailed a detailed Curriculum Requirements document tailored to their specific content area. This document outlines all phases of the program, including coursework, field-based experience, exam preparation, and certification milestones. It also includes important benchmarks and testing requirements. It serves as a roadmap to ensure you stay on track and meet all program requirements. Be sure to save the document for easy reference as you progress through the three phases of coursework, testing, and program benchmarks. A sample Curriculum Requirements document is available for you to view and download. Click here to access the accessible version of the Curriculum Requirements Document.

Additionally, please remember that you received this document via email after paying the acceptance fee, so you may want to check your inbox if you haven't already reviewed it.
