I received my Texas teachers certificate through Region 5. The program is phenomenal. I have made contacts, acquaintances, and friendships within my cohort that will last a lifetime. The network of highly qualified professionals the center Iays at your feet upon admittance to the program is of incalculable value.I felt absolutely prepared when I began my first job, teaching highschool, because of the education and support I received (and continue to receive) from Region 5s amazing team of professionals. If I ever have a question, am curious about about a method, or just in need of direction, they are there, ready and willing to help.I saw the way other teachers who chose the online certificate programs struggled. When it comes to the classroom, nothing beats face to face training. And while I cannot attest to other regions programs, I am confident in stating that you will receive quality training from Region 5.
