Our advisors look forward to answering your questions.
You are one step closer to becoming a teacher! If you’ve just submitted an application and are wondering what to do next, we’ve got you covered! Read our Recent Applicant FAQ to find the answers you’re looking for! We value transparency, so if you have another question not answered on this page, feel free to submit a new question using the form at the bottom of the page.
After you apply, the next steps are as follows:
Once you have applied, you may check your status using our Pre-Admission Portal. Through our Pre-Admission Portal, you can track which stage you’re at in the admission process. Your Status Report will show what tasks have been completed and what tasks are still pending. This feature is only available to candidates who have applied after January 1, 2021.
Yes, if you are following the Traditional Path, the PACT Path, or the International Candidate Path, we are required by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to collect and store official transcripts from all colleges with 12 or more hours towards a bachelor’s degree.
If your a non-US educated candidate pursuing our Texas Teacher program, you will need to have your academic record reviewed by an approved evaluator. This evaluation application will allow you to start the process. Please complete the steps below. Transcripts Elevation is NOT required for US-educated candidates!
2. Submit Transcript Evaluation
You can send your official transcripts in two different ways. The quickest and preferred method is to have your university send them electronically. If your university does not have an electronic option, we also accept transcripts sent via standard mail to our Houston office. Transcripts do not need to be in a sealed envelope from your university. We can accept an open, original copy. However, we cannot accept scanned, faxed, or photocopied transcripts.
If you are sending transcripts electronically, your university can email them to transcripts@texasteachers.org. If you are sending transcripts via standard mail, you can address them to:
Texas Teachers of Tomorrow
2401 Fountain View Dr. Suite 700
Houston, TX 77057
Once we receive your transcripts, we are usually able to process them within 5-7 business days. We will notify you as soon as we are finished.
Yes! We offer full program scholarships to individuals who are not yet enrolled in the program. Our scholarship period opens on October 1st. Visit our Scholarship Homepage to view available scholarships and learn how to qualify.
Before you can enroll, the following items must be on file:
Once we have your application, processed transcripts and completed questionnaire on file, we will email you a formal Program Admission Offer. To accept the offer and enroll, simply click on the link in the email to set up your Intern Portal and submit your enrollment fee. Once you accept your Program Admission Offer and submit the enrollment fee, you are enrolled!
After you apply, we will email you a short online questionnaire to assess your strengths as a teacher. The questionnaire should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. Your responses will help you and your Advisor when creating your personalized path to earning your certification!
If you are not following the Traditional Path (i.e. your GPA is between 2.3-2.49, you are a university student, international student or you do not have a bachelor’s degree), your next step is to either call us to speak with a Program Advisor or to monitor your email inbox for further instructions.
After you enroll, you are officially part of the Texas Teachers family! You may now get started on your online teacher training!
After you have successfully enrolled, you will receive an email that will invite you to create and set up your Texas Education Agency (TEA) and Pearson accounts. In your TEA account, you will see you when you are approved to take exams and review your exam scores after you’ve taken them. You can register to take approved exams in your Pearson account. On the Pearson site, you can also find detailed information about exams and free test preparation.
Texas Teachers will email you information to help you create and set up your Intern Portal. You’ll soon become very familiar with your Intern Portal. You will find helpful checklists, your online coursework, and countless resources to help you prepare for the classroom.
Your online teaching training courses are hosted on a platform called Canvas. You can locate your courses under the “Training Progress” page of your Intern Portal. When you click on the course title, it will redirect you to Canvas.
If you’re having trouble enrolling courses in Canvas or would like a bit more tech support, we offer a great optional webinar to help show you around. You can register for this free webinar in your Intern Portal!
