Participating School Districts

UHD is the ideal place to prepare for a successful urban teaching career. Our enrollment reflects the city, giving us an edge in developing a program that works for urban schools. We are currently working with the following school districts:

As the minority populations in Texas and Houston continue to grow, so will the need for teachers who are bilingual. The local demand for teachers reflects a nationwide trend: student enrollments are increasing while the supply of qualified teachers is declining.

A teacher trained at UHD will be required to master the core courses plus the specialization courses for the certification being sought. You'll master the subject you teach and know a variety of methods and technologies to help each student.

From the beginning, you'll be learning in the field...in inner-city schools. During three semesters in these Houston public schools, faculty from UHD, working with outstanding inner-city teachers, will make sure you receive "real world" knowledge and skills.
