Hi, so do you recommend to review and take the exams first before doing the modules, since you mentioned having to wait months before the exam schedule.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm searching on RUclips to hear everyone's experience with Texas Teachers of Tomorrow just to find out some tips or advice. I wanted to ask about how many modules/ courses did you do a day to finish in about a month? I just enrolled and I'm needing to complete mine in the same time frame. I'm off for the summer and since I want to get hired mid-year/ next spring from my school district, this would be the best time to get all the modules out of the way. Thank you so much!
Hey ! Honestly I don’t remember I counted up how many actual lessons there were and then divided it by the amount of days I wanted to get it done by. It’s nice that you are off for the summer, just get as much and a little more as you can each day!
I’m happy for you! How’s it been teaching since you’ve started? I’m trying to see if it’s necessary for me to join Texas teachers considering I’ve already passed the core subject exam I’d want to teach for (EC-6)
It’s a rollercoaster… there are days I absolutely love it, & days I wanna stop. I plan on doing a video to go more in depth. But that’s awesome! Texas Teachers is definitely a fast and easier route. Are you in school tho?
Was the school district you interviewed for question how you did you field based experience hours? My district calls for student teaching, approved internship or related work experience under her job listing for prerequisites. I'm wondering if they even care we only did 30 hrs online or if it really had to be in person. Stressing about that part lol
Hey, not quite yet. So my first year teaching I have an Intern Certificate. Once I finish this first year teacher, get observed, & pay for the program, I will receive my standard License.
Hey, unfortunately no. Texas teacher is just to prepare you to be a teacher. We have to study the subject material on our own. I use 240tutoring to study subject material & pass content exams.
hi. I just started the application and paid the enrollment fee. after starting the program when can someone start applying for job? well how was your process
Hi girl! So I BARELY paid my enrollment fee after two years of going back and forth with starting the program at all. I don't really know what comes next. For sure, I wanted to ask about the different sites you mentioned! I was hoping you would talk about that. Can you just briefly explain what each site / account I am creating is for?? (TEA, Pearson, etc.) I APPRECIATE YOU!
Hey girl, it’s been a minute. But I believe you’ll have an account for The Texas Teacher Portal - which gives you a breakdown of all the steps you need to do to complete the program and your payment account. Then you’ll have an account through Texas Teacher Canvas - which you use to complete all the lessons/modules. The TEA login you need to create one so that you can apply/register for exams, certifications etc. Finally, you’ll use Pearson to actually register for the exams because they are the organizations that actually give you them.
Did this program give a hard time on your transcript not being geared towards teacher courses/gpa? I’m running into that with a different program they’re wanting me to take some pre test (TX Pact test) before being considered for the program 🙄
I don’t have a degree of any kind. I’ve been teaching pre-K for 30 years. I have my CDA have done it more than once. I think I’ve done it three times because you have to recertify every 3 to 5 years and I’ve been in pre-K for 15 years. I’m just ready to move on I know 30 years sounds a lot but I have a lot of love and I think teaching to give to children do you need a degree in order to start the certification program?
@@casandraedwards9738 I took 3 to be a certified English teacher. (ELA, STR, & ESL exams) ELA & STR are required. ESL just makes you more marketable, and will probably be required soon.
@@ThatFemaleTarryn They host occasional job fairs. But I found mine on my own. I have a intern certificate right now, I’ll be fully certified after my first year teaching.
I just prefer working with older kids. Eventually I do want to work with high schoolers, but for now middle school is a good leap from preschool for me 😊
Get you degree evaluated by Teachers of Tomorrow. Email or call them to see what companies they use or recommend to get your degree evaluated so you can apply to the program.

Hi, is the ppr test based on the modules ? Do I have to take notes while going through the modules?
The PPR is about teachers and ability to handle different situations.
You can take notes. But you don’t need to
Hello! I just want to ask something.
I am a science teacher in the Philippines for 12 years. Is there a chance for me to teach in Texas?
I’m happy for you! How’s it been teaching since you’ve started?

No, the district I work at never brought it up.
Just a heads up, they are strick with their grading when they come observe you.
Ahh man, well thanks for the heads up!!
Hi since this is all complete; does this mean that you hold a standard texas teacher license now?
Hey, not quite yet. So my first year teaching I have an Intern Certificate. Once I finish this first year teacher, get observed, & pay for the program, I will receive my standard License.
did they teach you about the subject material. For example, i want to do social studies, did they give you courses in Social Studies?
Hey, unfortunately no. Texas teacher is just to prepare you to be a teacher. We have to study the subject material on our own. I use 240tutoring to study subject material & pass content exams.
Hi! Did you have to finish the modules before your content exams? Or could you take the exams whenever?
You can take the exams whenever.
What did you ise as your english proficiency?
hi. I just started the application and paid the enrollment fee. after starting the program when can someone start applying for job? well how was your process
As soon as you’ve passed the content exams. Some schools will hire you before you complete modules. If they really need teachers.

Did you have to actually go to a school site for observations or did they provide videos for you to watch?
Both. It's mandatory to do 15 hours in person observation in a Texas school. You can do the other 15 hrs observation online.
Hi, how long did the process take for you to begin after you submitted your application?
Hey , did you get an opportunity to teach in Dallas
Hey ,must I take TOFEL and ILETS before application? It's almost two weeks since I applied and i havent heard from them. Am i on the right track?
I didn’t take those. Have you sent in all transcripts?
@@daywithk yes ,I have , or is it because I haven't done transcripts evaluation
@@consolatakarimi8714 I’m not sure. I would call and check on your application.
Did this program give a hard time on your transcript not being geared towards teacher courses/gpa? I’m running into that with a different program they’re wanting me to take some pre test (TX Pact test) before being considered for the program 🙄
Hey, I’m sorry to hear that. Texas Teachers didn’t ask anything about my transcript after I sent It in.
@@daywithk oh good, I’m waiting to hear back from Texas teachers now.
I don’t have a degree of any kind. I’ve been teaching pre-K for 30 years. I have my CDA have done it more than once. I think I’ve done it three times because you have to recertify every 3 to 5 years and I’ve been in pre-K for 15 years. I’m just ready to move on I know 30 years sounds a lot but I have a lot of love and I think teaching to give to children do you need a degree in order to start the certification program?
Hey, yes you do need a degree to start this program.
How long did it take before you got accepted into the program?
Honestly, I don’t remember.. it was a whole ago. But I wouldn’t say more than a week.
Where you able to work a full time job while doing the course work and things before getting hired?
Yes. I just scheduled in some time everyday after work.
How many content exams did you have to take? Or did you just get certified in a specific core subject.
@@casandraedwards9738 I took 3 to be a certified English teacher. (ELA, STR, & ESL exams)
ELA & STR are required. ESL just makes you more marketable, and will probably be required soon.
How hard is it to actually find a spot for the internship?
No especially since there is a big teacher shortage
hi! did you have to student teach?
No, I didn’t. Just observation hours, which I did all online because of COVID.
@@daywithk okay and did texas teachers assist you with finding a district to teach in? and were you fully certified when you began teaching ?
@@ThatFemaleTarryn They host occasional job fairs. But I found mine on my own.
I have a intern certificate right now, I’ll be fully certified after my first year teaching.
@@daywithk okay thanks so much!
Why did you pick middle school?
I just prefer working with older kids. Eventually I do want to work with high schoolers, but for now middle school is a good leap from preschool for me 😊
Do you remember what the phone interview with the advisor was like?
Roughly. I remember it being easier than I thought it would be, but I don’t remember the specifics.
I have a degree from a foreign country any guidance please
Get you degree evaluated by Teachers of Tomorrow. Email or call them to see what companies they use or recommend to get your degree evaluated so you can apply to the program.
