We Teach Texas

We are committed to producing the highest quality PreK-12 teachers who provide world-class education for the children of Texas.

A Message from the Chancellor

To Texas Educators:

The Texas A&M University System has prepared highly qualified teachers for Texas schools and beyond for more than 100 years. The eleven universities of the A&M System prepare more highly qualified educators than any system in the State.

We TEACH Texas!

The A&M System prepares strong and effective teachers ready to engage all learners and deliver world-class education for the children of Texas. Education is critical for both individual success and the success of our state and nation. The A&M System leads the way in accomplishing this critical outcome.

Although the current global health crisis has created many challenges we have not faced before, the determination of our educator preparation programs to meet student and district needs has not waned. This pandemic has us working to rapidly develop unique and effective strategies to meet unexpected future circumstances. Stories of hope and innovation continue to unfold as we collectively rise to the challenges of meeting the needs of Texans.

Our educator preparation programs take pride in the reality that We TEACH Texas! We created this site, We Teach Texas, to share helpful resources and share our commitment to producing the highest quality educators who are prepared to deliver and lead world-class education for the children of Texas and beyond.

Sincerely,

John Sharp, Chancellor
