The Web-Centric Alternative Certification Program
If you are interested in teaching in Spring Branch ISD or any other
school district in the state of Texas but do not have a teaching
certificate, a number of options are available to help you complete the
academic component of the certification process. One program is the
Web-Centric Alternative Certification Program (WCACP), an online
alternative certification program that gives future teachers the option
to work through the licensing process from the comfort of home. Although
a number of alternative certification programs exist, the structure of
this online program is an especially attractive option for working
adults. The flexible nature of the coursework allows students to
maintain a full-time job or care for a family and to work at their own
pace.
This academic program serves as preparation for the one-year teaching
internship that all teachers must complete to receive certification.
This classroom training helps teachers to learn practical applications
for the theoretical material they learn in the program. They also learn
how to collaborate with other classroom teachers and to develop
relationships with students and parents. Those who choose to do so can
complete their online coursework concurrently with the internship so
that they can step into their new careers as quickly as possible.
