Certifications

Future Teachers of KISD!

Alternative Certification Programs are designed for individuals who hold a college or university degree but do not hold a teaching certificate.  Alternative certification programs (ACP's) offer a nontraditional route to certification that may allow you to teach while completing the requirements. These programs are located in universities, school districts, education service centers, community colleges, and private entities. There are numerous university-based and alternative certification programs. Visit the TEA website for more information on becoming a teacher through an ACP.
