TechTeach, the teacher education program at Texas Tech University, has designed a program to meet the unique needs of our students in the Dallas Metroplex who wish to remain in their home communities. TechTeach Across Texas is a clinically intensive, competency-based program designed to prepare teachers who will improve the academic achievement of K-12 students. It is among the first in the nation to combine intense, clinical experiences with opportunities to dramatically improve effective teaching behaviors in order to impact student learning. Tech Teach Across Texas focuses on the public school classroom and seeks to inspire our teacher candidates to become their best selves and raise the level of learning for Texas students. We know that it can be an intense program, but we have made it this way to prepare our teachers for the workforce adequately. Our graduates are well-prepared to take ownership of their future classrooms. The way they are evaluated is how actual Teachers in Texas are evaluated. They will have a full year of student teaching experience upon graduating!
