Educating the Educators
University advances teacher preparation with enhanced certification approval
A&M-San Antonio has been selected as one of the first universities approved to offer the Texas Teacher Residency Preparation Route (TTRPR). The year-long residency, which begins in fall 2025, provides a structured pathway for teacher candidates to gain experience through mentorship and integrated coursework, leading to an Enhanced Standard Certificate by the Texas Education Agency. The TTRPR program, which is part of the College of Education and Human Development, is designed to address teacher retention and effectiveness. The expanded training offers an in-depth approach to development, strengthening the teacher pipeline and producing role models and future leaders.
