Become A Certified Elementary Teacher

The Region 13 Elementary Certification Program and Accelerated Elementary Program train and support future teachers pursuing Core Subjects Early Childhood (EC) – Grade 6 certification. This program is ideal for individuals seeking certification in Elementary (EC–6), ESL, Bilingual, or Special Education and who are passionate about shaping young learners’ academic and social development during their most formative years.

As a participant, you’ll join a community of aspiring educators committed to creating meaningful, engaging, and inclusive learning experiences for all students.

Offered statewide, our programs combine flexibility with strong support to help you transition successfully into the classroom. With multiple learning formats—including structured in-person cohorts, a balanced hybrid model (a blend of in-person and online learning), and fully live online cohorts—you can choose the option that best fits your schedule and learning style.

Our rigorous yet supportive curriculum prepares you for the realities of teaching. You’ll receive focused preparation for the TExES certification exam, gain training in research-based instructional practices, and engage with curriculum aligned to the Texas Teacher Standards. We also help you build reflective habits to continue growing as an educator well beyond your first year in the classroom.
