Despite its large size, Houston ISD strives to offer a quality education to every student and to serve as a model of efficiency and academic excellence among schools in Texas and across the country.

Houston ISD strives to create a "college-bound culture" by educating families from the time their children are in elementary school about the accessibility of a college education, by raising educational standards, and by offering Advanced Placement and other courses that offer the possibility of earning college credit while still in high school. Once students recognize the wide variety of options available to them, they will be more likely to pursue the higher education needed for a successful career.

The Web-Centric Alternative Certification Program

If you are interested in teaching in Houston ISD or any other Texas school system but lack the proper certification, etools4Education offers the Web-Centric Alternative Certification Program (WCACP), which allows future educators to complete the coursework necessary for obtaining their teaching certificates from the safety and convenience of their own homes.

Through WCACP, future educators in the state of Texas take their certification courses directly over the Internet. The program also utilizes chat sessions, workshops, and video conferencing so that students in the program can still benefit from personal interaction with their professors, although the conversation takes place from the comfort of the students’ own homes. Because of the flexible nature of the program, these future teachers can maintain a full-time job or take care of their families during the day while they study. Those who are able to dedicate a full-time effort to the program can be in the classroom teaching within 6 weeks starting a one-year paid teaching internship. We also offer a faster route to certification which allows one to be fully certified in as little as 14 weeks.

Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree in any field from an accredited college or university and must have a minimum 2.5 GPA to qualify for acceptance.
