Alternative Certification Programs
If you are interested in teaching in Allen ISD or any other school
system in the Dallas/Fort Worth area but do not have a teaching license,
our online program is available to help you gain the proper credentials.
If you already have your bachelor’s degree, an alternative certification
program will enable you to earn your teaching certificate without having
to go back to college full time.
WCACP is the perfect program for people who are interested in starting a
second career in teaching. Because the coursework is conducted entirely
online, students can work at their own pace. Those who have the option
of dedicating a full-time effort to their teaching course can complete
the pre-teaching coursework in as little as 12-18 weeks. The course
material incorporates chat sessions and videoconferencing to give
students the benefits of a personal classroom experience without
frustrating scheduling conflicts.
The program is designed to prepare teaching candidates for their
one-year teaching internship that is required for earning their teaching
certificate. The program places students in a regular classroom setting
so they can get the practical, hands-on personal experience needed to
become effective teachers. Students who want to complete the
certification program quickly have the option of doing their online
coursework concurrently with the teaching internship.
