An alternative certification program is designed for individuals who already have a college degree. This program offers training on how to be an effective teacher, as well as additional courses you might need in the subject area you wish to teach. Many ACP programs can be completed in a year, during which time you may have a paid teaching position in a public school classroom.
Alternative/Accelerated programs for teacher training are offered by various education service centers, other school districts, as well as colleges, universities and other entities. A list of ACP programs with contact information for our area, Region IV, can be found on the State Board for Educator Certification website at www.sbec.state.tx.us.
Fort Bend ISD only accepts internships from applicants currently enrolled in college or from Alternative Certification Programs (ACP). To be considered for employment you will need to submit the following:
Online application
Acceptance Letter from your Alternative Certification Program
Letter of Completion of ACP pre-assignment training
Passing scores for your content area exam
