How to Become a Teacher in Texas

To embark on a teaching career in Texas, you’ll need to obtain state certification. The certification process consists of four major steps: 

  1. Meeting the state’s educational background requirements as well as those for a state-approved educator preparation program
  2. Completing a program, including a teaching residency
  3. Passing the appropriate exams for your desired teaching position
  4. Applying for your certificate and participating in a background check

As a Texas teacher, you can expect to initially make about $46,550 (the median salary for new teachers). However, the demand for teachers is so high that some are currently earning six figures due to state legislation and districts’ strategic compensation models. 

In this guide, we’ll walk you through each step and point you to useful resources to make your journey to Texas teacher certification smoother.

Get Your Texas Teacher Certification

As mentioned, to get your Texas teaching certification, you must meet educational requirements, complete an educator preparation program, and pass the required tests. You’ll need to consider a few factors as you go through each of these steps.

Meet Educational Background Requirements to Become a Teacher in Texas

Texas requires most teaching applicants to have a bachelor’s degree in any subject from an accredited college or university. If you’re unsure whether the institution you attended is accredited, you can search for it at the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

If you’ll be applying for Health Science Technology or Trades & Industrial Education certifications, you won’t need a bachelor’s degree. However, a Health Science certificate does require an associate degree. If you’re interested in either of these certification areas, check out the Texas Education Agency (TEA) web page explaining their specific requirements.

Most other educational background requirements will be set by the state-approved educator preparation program you select. You have the choice of enrolling in a university program or taking the shorter options of a post-baccalaureate program or an alternative certification program.

If you opt for either a post-baccalaureate or an alternative certification program, the state will require you to pass a TX Pre-Admission Content Test (PACT) exam before being accepted under the following circumstances:

  • You have a GPA of less than 2.50 or
  • You have not completed at least 12 semester credit hours in the subject (also called a content area) you’ve chosen for certification. Note: certification in math or science above grade seven will require 15 semester credit hours.

Tip: If you have enough credit hours to qualify for another content area, you may be able to use them for admission. Then, once you’re in the program, you can take the test required for the content area you want. Discuss that possibility with the program’s admissions staff.

Complete an Educator Preparation Program

If you don’t have a bachelor’s degree, a university program gives you the opportunity to earn one while also fulfilling your educator preparation program requirements. You’ll have to go through a four-year degree program, take courses in the specific content areas you’ll need for your certification, and do one year of field work. While completion time will vary from person to person, this certification route generally takes about five years. 

Completing an alternative certification or post-baccalaureate program will take significantly less time since you won’t have to earn credits for a degree. You usually will be able to complete the program’s coursework alongside the required two semesters of field experience. That means you will usually complete the program within a year. 

Another benefit of alternative certification or post-baccalaureate programs is that they’re likely to offer paid internships. Some alternative certification programs offer an unpaid clinical teaching placement that’s shorter in duration than the internship. In all cases (including university programs), once you are eligible for your teaching residency and you secure a teaching position, you must apply online for a one-year probationary certificate, pay an application fee, and undergo a criminal background check. You’ll create a TEA Login (TEAL) account for this application process.

Program requirements for career and technical education (CTE) areas such as Health Science Technology or Trades & Industrial Education are a bit more involved. You will require at least two years of verified work experience. Some of that experience can be prior to your enrollment in the program. In addition, you will need to have a current, industry-specific license, certificate, or registration from the state or nationally-recognized accrediting agency in addition to your teaching certification. In some cases, you will also have to pass the appropriate National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI) assessment.

Pass Required Tests to Become a Teacher in Texas

To demonstrate your grasp of educational theory and pedagogical best practices, you will have to take the Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (PPR) test from the Texas Examination of Educator Standards (TExES) exam series. You must also take the appropriate TExES content area test(s) to confirm that you understand the content area(s) you want to teach. Once you’re a certified teacher, you can take more TExES exams. This will expand the number of content areas in which you’re eligible to teach. 

If you want a Bilingual Education certificate or Languages Other Than English (LOTE) certificate, you will also have to take Language Testing International’s foreign language test for your selected language.

Submit Your Certification Application to Become a Teacher in Texas

Your educator preparation program must recommend you for certification before you can apply. Once they do, you can complete the application form and pay the fee via your online TEAL (TEA Login) account. TEA will perform a national criminal background check, which includes fingerprinting, as part of the process. 

TEA issues a standard certificate, but you won’t receive a paper copy. Instead, TEA will post a virtual certificate to your online account as the official record of your certification as a Texas educator. Potential employers will search for that virtual certificate via TEA’s Certificate Lookup tool.

Teaching Careers in Texas

A high demand for teachers makes Texas an appealing place to start a teaching career. While the median starting salary for teachers is $46,550, the state has devoted a significant amount of funds to supporting school systems’ strategic compensation models. According to the 2023 Texas Teacher Vacancy Task Force Final Report, that strategic compensation has enabled teachers to quickly earn higher salaries “based on performance and other factors such as campus needs and subject area.” The report even found that the number of Texas teachers earning six-figure salaries has doubled since 2019. 

Teachers for the following subject/content areas are in especially high demand:

  • English as a Second Language
  • Career and Technical Education
  • Special Education
  • Computer Science

Hopefully, you now have the information you need to begin your journey toward a satisfying new career. If the alternative certification option sounds right for you, download our Texas Success Guide for more information. Good luck! 

Frequently Asked Questions about Alternative Teacher Certification

How do I get a teaching certification in Texas?

To get a teaching certification in Texas, you must go through four steps. First, you’ll have to meet the educational background requirements set by the state and by the educator preparation program you select. One of those prerequisites will be a bachelor’s degree (unless you’re applying for Health Science Technology or Trades & Industrial Education certifications). 

Second, you must complete your educator preparation program, which will involve a mix of coursework and field experience. Third, you must pass all the tests required to confirm your teaching capabilities. Once you have completed all the program requirements and passed the tests, your program will send a recommendation for your certification to the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Your fourth step will be completing an online application and going through a background check, including fingerprinting. TEA will issue a virtual standard certificate for you, which potential employers can find online.

How long does it take to become a certified teacher in Texas?

How long it takes to become a certified teacher in Texas often depends on whether you have a bachelor’s degree. If you don’t have a degree, you should enroll in a university program so that you can obtain your degree while also completing an educator preparation program. That process usually takes about five years. 

If you already have a degree, you can opt for a post-baccalaureate or alternative certification program. You can usually complete a post-baccalaureate or alternative certification program in 12-16 months.

For some certifications (e.g., Health Science Technology, Trades & Industrial Education, Marketing) you’ll need at least two years of full-time work experience in lieu of or in addition to your degree. You can acquire work experience before you enroll in the educator preparation program. Health Science Technology and Trades & Industrial Education also require you to have current licensure, certification, or registration for working in that field (in addition to your teaching certification). For those two, you may be able to substitute military experience for work experience and licensure. Discuss your circumstances with the staff of your selected educator preparation program to get an idea of how long it may take you to get certified.

What is the fastest way to become a teacher in Texas?

For a prospective teacher with a bachelor’s degree, the fastest way to become a teacher in Texas is through an alternative certification program. These programs can be completed in as little as six months (when you opt for an unpaid clinical placement).

Do I need a degree in education to become a teacher in Texas?

No. In lieu of a degree in education, you can become a teacher in Texas by enrolling in an alternative certification program. You will need to have at least a bachelor’s degree (except for Health Science Technology or Trades & Industrial Education certifications), but it will not have to be in education. Texas requires alternative certification programs to identify the content area (subject) enrollees will pursue for certification. If your degree directly relates to a certification field, the program will identify that field as your content area. But once you’re enrolled, you have the option of taking a TExES certification test in a different content area.

How long does my certification last, and how do I renew it?

Your certification lasts approximately five years. All standard certificates expire on the same date, so it’s possible that you may have to renew your certificate before five years have passed. The expiration date is found on your virtual certificate and in your online account profile.

To renew your certificate, you must complete 150 continuing professional education (CPE) hours. No more than 150 CPE hours are required, even if you are certified for more than one area. If your certificate expires before five years have passed, your CPE hours are prorated. You will only need to complete 10 CPE hours for each full year that your certificate is active.

You will submit an online renewal application and pay the associated fee though your online account. The renewal process will include an online affidavit in which you will attest that you have met all renewal requirements. If you do not renew your certificate by the expiration date, it is automatically designated as inactive. You can renew your certificate even after it has become inactive.

Can I teach in Texas without certification?

You can teach in Texas without certification. The state allows school districts to issue a school district teaching permit (SDTP) to individuals who do not have a teaching certificate. However, districts only have the authority to issue permits for “noncore academic CTE courses.”  These are career and technical education courses that don’t count toward students’ math, science, language arts, or social studies credits for graduation. Permits for any other course will have to be approved by the commissioner of education.

Your SDTP would only be valid in the district that issued it. If you are approved for a course other than a noncore academic CTE course, TEA states that you will still be limited to working as a classroom teacher or a teacher for special education, bilingual education, English as a second language, prekindergarten or preK-4 students. You will be ineligible for other positions (e.g., school counselor, school librarian, or administrator).

To acquire a SDTP, you must undergo a criminal background check and receive classroom management training. The district’s board of trustees may also require you to meet additional continuing education requirements.

Can I take more than a year to complete an alternative certification program?

You can take more than a year to complete most alternative certification programs if the need arises. They will often even extend your probationary certificate for up to two years. Your educator preparation program can advise you regarding the possibility of an extension.

What if I’m a certified educator from another state?

If you have a standard, renewable certificate from another state, you must apply to TEA for a review of your credentials. Your certificate does not need to be currently valid, but it must have been a standard level certificate when it was issued. TEA has created a detailed checklist to guide you through the process.

Learning About Texas Government

I was at the Texas state Capitol building recently for a tour. We sat on the floor of the House of Representatives and learned about the government process. One of the most fascinating things was learning about the vast number of things that are considered when a bill is brought before the house. How will this impact the economy? How will this impact small business owners?

State representatives in Texas get paid a meager $600 a month and if they opt for insurance from the state, then that money is reduced to almost nothing. The house meats every other year and when they are in session they work for 140 days straight – including holidays. They often get to the house floor at 6:30 a.m. and work until 4:00 a.m. Yikes! I am 43 years old and I had no idea that so many people were working so hard to run the state of Texas and making very little money. There are also a number of very low paid staff members that are in their early twenties who are passionate about politics and laws. I reprimanded myself for not being more active and as I sat their and listened to each speaker on our two day visit I realized that a new appreciation was being formed in my heart for politicians and the state of Texas.

Justice Jeff Boyd Texas Supreme CourtTexas Supreme Court Justice Jeff Boyd

During our visit, we got to meet one of the Judges for the Supreme Court of Texas: Justice Jeffrey S. Boyd. We sat there in the court while he explained to us how cases landed before the 9 judges and what the differences were in the Supreme Court and a regular court. One of the main differences is that there is no jury and there is not a witness stand – at least not in the traditional sense. All of the data that has been presented in a court of law has to go through the appellate courts before it gets to the Supreme Court.

We asked Justice Boyd, “Tell us of a case that was interesting and challenging.” He told us of a case where a rescue dog got out of the owner’s backyard during a storm. That night the owner went to the pound and the dog was there, but the owner didn’t have the $25 to retrieve the dog. He told the pound that he would come back in the morning and get the dog. The next day he came to the pound with his two young sons only to find out that the dog had been put to sleep. Yowza!

Apparently the dog had been mislabeled during the night and so the owner sued the dog pound. The case eventually came to the Supreme Court and Justice Boyd said he had to write a report on the case and it came down to a number of facts. In the past, dogs were considered property like a piece of furniture, but we know that in our culture today many people consider pets a member of the family. So how much is a dog worth? How much should someone be compensated when it is killed accidentally?

In this particular case, the dog owner was only given what they paid for the dog: $25. When I first heard this verdict I was internally outraged! Shouldn’t someone be fined for negligence? What if someone hits a dog with a car? Who is at fault then? What if it isn’t a dog that is killed but a cat, or a lizard? All of these things were taken into consideration and in the end the only fair outcome in the judges mind was compensation for what the owners paid.

We then asked the judge what was different between being a lawyer and a judge. He said the main difference is that as an attorney your client gives you the data and you try to get the outcome that they are paying you for. He said that as an attorney you compile data that makes you and the jury believe what you are trying to make them believe.

History Keeps Us from Repeating Mistakes

Have you ever read a good piece of historical fiction? I have read some books by Wilbur Smith and they delve into a lot of African culture. He even has a series on Egypt and in the back of the books he talks about some of the facts being based loosely on real stories found in a tomb. In these books he details so many facts about African culture, the Zulu, the Maasai – fierce warriors who were able to kill lions with nothing more than an Assegai.   In history we can learn where we came from so we don’t repeat the same mistakes. When I read books about World War II and Nazi Germany I am fascinated by the progression of Nazi reign and how hate and fear was used as a tool to control people.

According to an article in Psychology Today, fear is the most powerful motivator, but it is a negative one. If someone tries to use fear to motivate us to do something we know is wrong we can look at history to help us navigate our steps when dealing with a situation that is complicated.

Preparing to Teach in Texas

You have officially earned all of your college hours, finished student teaching, and finally graduated with degree in hand, and now the job hunt begins. Applying for teaching jobs is exhausting, frustrating, and sometimes feels never ending.  It can feel like there are thousands of applicants applying for the same position and you may feel like you are stuck. The key to landing that “first” teaching job requires a few different things.

Research of School Districts or Organizations

Knowing what you as the teacher want in a school district and school is very important to applying for jobs. I have worked in 4 separate school districts and have been apart of many schools. Each district and school offers a wide variety of experience, and demographic to work with. It is important to know what you want going into your application process. Some of you might be knew to the area and some might not be familiar with the schools in your specific area or may want to work in an area according to what they offer.

Texas BooksTop 10 Best School Districts in Texas

Here is a Top 10 list of best school districts to work for in Texas to help you navigate where you might want to apply.

  1. Carroll ISD, Southlake, TX
  2. Eanes ISD, Austin, TX
  3. Lovejoy ISD, Fairview, TX
  4. Highland Park ISD (University Park, TX) Dallas, TX
  5. Coppell ISD, Coppell, TX
  6. Lake Travis ISD. Austin, TX
  7. Allen ISD, Allen, TX
  8. Friendswood ISD, Houston, TX
  9. Plano ISD, Plano, TX
  10. Round Rock ISD, Roundrock, TX

“The Texas Education Agency 2018 Accountability Manual describes the methodology used by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to award district and campus accountability ratings and how the four metrics used in this study to rank the academic performance of DFW school districts were derived.

The first of these metrics, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) score is the scaled score of all STAAR assessments administered to district students during the 2017-2018 school year. The Advance Placement / International Baccalaureate (AP/IB) and the SAT and ACT college admission tests metrics are the number of students meeting college-ready criteria specified in the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), a state-legislated program to improve student success in college.”

Teacher Job Fairs

Each one of these school districts and thousands more will usually hold Job Fairs for hopeful employees. Utilize these Job fairs, the more contacts you have the better when starting the application process. Most job fairs will be beginning at the end of April, early May to the beginning of June. When attending make sure you dress professional, and bring a lot of copies of your resume to handout to the personnel of the different school districts. It makes a huge difference when someone can place a face to the resume.

Arlington, Texas Job Fair

Multiple City List of Job Fairs for Teachers

Student Teaching

The relationships and contacts you make during student teaching are very important. Don’t be afraid to rely on those connections during your job hunt. If the schools you did  your student teaching at, does not have any job openings in your specific teaching area, they will for sure have a contact of their own that they can recommend you to.

The Application process

The Resume

The first thing you want to do is to make sure you have a good resume. Those that are newly graduates may not have a lot to add to a resume that would be appealing to school districts. Having your student teaching information on your resume along with great references will greatly increase your chances of an administrator not by passing your resume all together. Also use your college mentors as help when writing your first professional resume. They know the school districts and can help you add  content to your resume that will help you stand out.

Application – Applying to Become a Teacher

Now that you have an idea of where you want to apply, your resume and references, you can start applying. Most school districts have their application online. You can usually find them by going to the school district website and clicking the employment tab. The nice thing about the applications being online in Texas is that most school districts use the same application system. This means you can upload one application and apply to thousands of jobs by just the click of a button.

Interview Process

There is nothing more nerve racking then walking into your first couple of job interviews. Practicing with someone such as your student teaching mentor or an old teacher will greatly help you to be able topinpoint interview weaknesses and turn those weaknesses into strengths. The more you practice speaking in front of people and answering questions on the fly the better prepared you will be.

Make sure you research the school’s website before you go into your interview, know what their goal is and know the kind of campus they are. This can help give you a better sense of the type of answers they may be looking for in your interview. Research key words that administrators like when talking about teaching and don’t be afraid to use those in your interview, such as: cultivate an engagingclassroom, create rigorouslesson plans to increase student engagement.

Dress to impress. There is nothing worse than showing up anywhere and being underdressed. It is always better to dress to impress. I always recommend a blazer jacket for both ladies and gentlemen. Ladies, a conservative dress or pant suit with a blouse. Gentlemen, suit, jacket, button-up shirt, and a tie. Some inexpensive clothing stores that are great to shop at for business clothes are, H&M, Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic Factory Store, and Nordstrom Rack. You can find some really great pieces that are super affordable.  I walked into my very first job interview wearing a women’s suit. It was hotter than anything outside but I was dressing to impress not for my own comfort. First impressions are very important and can make a difference in getting a call back.

Accepting a Teaching Position

You have made it through the hardest part of the job process, research, applications, job fairs, interviews, and you finally got a job offer. Some of you may get multiple offers and some may only get a single offer. When accepting a position, you need to make sure that you are on board with what you are being asked to teach, how many sections, and the pay. There are some jobs that require an additional certification, and you may not have that yet. Some districts will hire you with the understanding that you will get that certification during the first year of teaching.

Know what you want before you accept any position and don’t be afraid to say no thank you. Those that only received on offer. Don’t worry. That will not be the only offer you ever receive. Use that job opportunity as a stepping stone to learn, grow, and become a better teacher. You very first job may not be the job you want forever, but it can sure provide some of the best learning opportunities you can get.

Each year you teach, you learn a lot about yourself, about teaching and about how the process works. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, be uncomfortable, try something new, you never know by doing that you may find yourself with more opportunities than you know what to do with. Grow, get better, ask for help, and never stop learning.

The Value of Reviews

Seeking out iteachTEXAS reviews is a great way for you to determine if iteachTEXAS is the best program for you to choose when determining a teacher certification program.

Though you can learn a lot about iteachTEXAS on our website, it can be extremely helpful to hear from someone who went through our program.

The main two sources for you, the public, check out iteachTEXAS Facebook Reviews and iteachTEXAS Google Reviews. Both sources cannot be curated or edited by iteachTEXAS. We cannot delete poor reviews.

As of time of this blog being published our iteachTEXAS Review Score on Facebook was 4.8 stars.

And our iteachTEXAS Review on Google was 4.4 stars.
As important as it is for you to read our reviews, it is equally important to search for the reviews of other Texas Teacher certification programs’ reviews. You will find that some other programs have removed reviews from Facebook (the only way to ensure bad reviews are not posted).
 

 

We encourage you to do research. What you will ultimately find is that our program is the lowest cost, nationally accredited program in the state with some of the highest rated reviews. Additionally, iteachTEXAS provides our candidates a 600% greater likely hood of being hired (as compared to Texas Teachers).

Our candidates are 600% more likely to be hired

Apart from our great public reviews, below are some quotes from people just like you who have completed our program:

iteachTEXAS Reviews 

“I’m so glad that I listened to my friend when she recommended iteachtexas. I learned a lot through iteach that helped me in my first year of teaching. I love all of the employees at iteachtexas. They were accessible at all hours of the day and every day of the week. Thank you iteachtexas for guiding me on my path to becoming better at the career that I had always dreamed of; being a teacher with my own classroom and students to love and teach.” – Kim B.

“I started with a different alternative certification program, but when I constantly hit dead ends with them compiled with the fact that they lost my work (twice!), I reached out to iTeach at the recommendation of a friend and my school district. iTeach was a great experience all the way through, and they made the transition easy!” 2017-2018 Program Completer

“iTeach in my experience has been amazing. I was more than prepared to walk into my first day of school, as well as every other day. My field adviser was phenomenal, and helped in more ways than one. I have and would recommend iTeach to anyone else who asks.” – Moniqua W.

I researched several alternative teaching certification programs. iteach was the program that seemed the most beneficial, affordable, and appropriate program for me. After visiting with several other students who were enrolled in other cert programs, I became even more thankful that I had chosen iteach. I am 100% happy with the program and have shared my success with many others looking at going into the teaching field.” – 2017-2018 Program Completer

“iTeach is may seem like an ordinary online Alternative Certification Program but it does an excellent job preparing candidates to be life-long educators. Whenever a substitute teacher has questions about certification, I always take the time to explain the great service I received from iTeach Texas. My supervisor was very personable and helpful with her encouraging words. Every time I had a concern about which tests to take, I could always count on iTeach customer service to respond quickly to me.

The Value of Reviews

Seeking out iteachTEXAS reviews is a great way for you to determine if iteachTEXAS is the best program for you to choose when determining a teacher certification program.

Though you can learn a lot about iteachTEXAS on our website, it can be extremely helpful to hear from someone who went through our program.

The main two sources for you, the public, to see our reviews is our iteachTEXAS Facebook Reviews and iteachTEXAS Google Reviews. Both sources can not be curated or edited by iteachTEXAS. We cannot delete poor reviews.

As of the time of this blog being published our iteachTEXAS Review on Facebook was 4.8.

And our iteachTEXAS Review on Google was 4.4
As important as it is for you to view our reviews, it is equally important to search for the reviews of other Texas Teacher certification programs’ reviews. You will find that some other programs have removed reviews from Facebook (the only way to ensure bad reviews are not posted).
 

 

We encourage you to do research. What you will ultimately find is that our program is the lowest cost, nationally accredited program in the state with some of the highest rated reviews. Additionally, iteachTEXAS provides our candidates a 600% greater likely hood of being hired (as compared to Texas Teachers).

Apart from our great public reviews, below are some quotes from people just like you who have completed our program:

iteachTEXAS Reviews 

“I’m so glad that I listened to my friend when she recommended iteachtexas. I learned a lot through iteach that helped me in my first year of teaching. I love all of the employees at iteachtexas. They were accessible at all hours of the day and every day of the week. Thank you iteachtexas for guiding me on my path to becoming better at the career that I had always dreamed of; being a teacher with my own classroom and students to love and teach.” – Kim B.

“I started with a different alternative certification program, but when I constantly hit dead ends with them compiled with the fact that they lost my work (twice!), I reached out to iTeach at the recommendation of a friend and my school district. iTeach was a great experience all the way through, and they made the transition easy!” 2017-2018 Program Completer

“iTeach in my experience has been amazing. I was more than prepared to walk into my first day of school, as well as every other day. My field adviser was phenomenal, and helped in more ways than one. I have and would recommend iTeach to anyone else who asks.” – Moniqua W.

I researched several alternative teaching certification programs. iteach was the program that seemed the most beneficial, affordable, and appropriate program for me. After visiting with several other students who were enrolled in other cert programs, I became even more thankful that I had chosen iteach. I am 100% happy with the program and have shared my success with many others looking at going into the teaching field.” – 2017-2018 Program Completer

“iTeach is may seem like an ordinary online Alternative Certification Program but it does an excellent job preparing candidates to be life-long educators. Whenever a substitute teacher has questions about certification, I always take the time to explain the great service I received from iTeach Texas. My supervisor was very personable and helpful with her encouraging words. Every time I had a concern about which tests to take, I could always count on iTeach customer service to respond quickly to me. I am more than happy to endorse iTeach as an ACP because it has been a blessing in my life. Thank you, iTeach!” – Rod T.
