The board that oversees all aspects of the certification of public school educators in Texas has recognized ECAP as a top educator preparation program in the state.
The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) created a system for recognizing high-performing educator preparation programs that prepare public elementary and secondary teachers for long-term success.
At its February meeting, the board recognized Education Career Alternatives Program (ECAP) for its contribution to preparing educators to help address teacher shortage areas in the state during the 2022-2023 reporting year.
The Certificate of Commendation for exemplary performance reflects ECAP’s commitment and success in preparing teachers for the classroom while working to address shortage areas in the field of Career and Technical Education.
Career and Technical Education at the secondary level is experiencing one of the most critical teacher shortages in the state. As a top educator preparation program, ECAP offers a well-respected training program that puts students ahead of the curve when it’s time to hire so that they are well-equipped to fill these crucial teaching positions and effectively educate the next generation of skilled workers in various trades and technical fields.
Workers in fields such as aircraft mechanics, automotive, computer programming, culinary arts, graphic arts, law enforcement, plumbing, welding, and other trades have turned to ECAP to help them earn their Texas teacher certification.
Through a combination of in-person and online training, guidance from teacher advisers with extensive experience, comprehensive test preparation, and an individualized timeline, ECAP equips aspiring educators with the knowledge and tools they need to transition into teaching roles successfully while addressing critical shortages in Texas.
