iteachTEXAS

iteachU.S. is a competency-based educator preparation program that combines the convenience of online learning with the support of face-to-face mentorship. Dr. Diann Huber founded iteachTEXAS in 2003 to help talented people become teachers while avoiding the high costs and time commitments of some traditional educator preparation programs. The model she created was so successful at preparing great educators on a large scale that the program grew into iteachU.S. in 2007. Today, iteachU.S. serves Texas, Louisiana, and Hawaii, offering state-approved certification programs in each state. In 2012, iteachU.S. earned accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). iteachU.S. is the first and only non-university educator preparation program to achieve this distinction.
