What district leaders have to say

“Snyder ISD recommends iteach exclusively to candidates. We have found iteach to be a rigorous yet cost effective program that provides a clear pathway to certification. What really sets them apart from a district standpoint is the ability to reach a staff member via email or phone the same day, every time.”
Clay CadeDirector of Administrative Services, Snyder ISD

What district leaders have to say

“For many years iteachTexas has been an ardent supporter of Texas school districts. They were one of the first in Texas to have a flexible online based alternative certification program for Texas educators. I can always count on their entire team to assist our district with making sure certified educators are in our classrooms!”
Willie Watson, Jr., SPHR, SHRM-SCPChief Human Resources Officer at Pflugerville ISD

If I call, email or text I will receive a response the same day (even on weekends and holidays).”
