Become A Certified Teacher
Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers are essential in equipping students with the real-world skills they need to succeed in college, careers, and beyond. The Region 13 CTE Educator Certification Program is designed for professionals with experience, education, or industry credentials in technical fields who are ready to bring their expertise into the classroom.
Offered statewide, our program provides the structure and support needed to transition into teaching at the secondary level. With flexible learning options—including a balanced hybrid model (a combination of in-person and online learning) and fully live online cohorts—you can choose the format that fits your life and learning style.
Our rigorous yet supportive program prepares you for the realities of teaching. Participants receive targeted preparation for the TExES certification exam, engage in training on research-based instructional practices, and explore curriculum aligned to the Texas Teacher Standards. Throughout the program, we emphasize reflective teaching practices to help you grow not just as a new teacher but as an evolving professional committed to long-term success in education.
