Not sure if anyone can help.... But any advice- even directing me to the right website etc- would be much appreciated! We are relocating to the Houston area from small town Oklahoma- yikes! I have an associates degree in applied science. Could anyone give me an idea of what I would need to get a teaching degree or certificate in Texas? I am not currently teaching in Oklahoma, but have always been interested in the field and would like to change careers soon after the move, or at least begin working on what I need to be able to teach in Texas. Thank you!

Check the University of Houston main campus website to find out who to contact with your questions. Some credits from your associate's degree will transfer but others may not. There are residency requirements regarding tuition -- if you just recently moved to Texas, you'll pay out-of-state tuition.

You need a bachelor's degree to become a teacher in Texas, even if you go through the alternative certification route.

Call HISD or UH (as mentioned above). Also, don't listen to the naysayers. There is a glut of teachers now, but Houston's explosive growth coupled with a possible political backlash down the road may create a shortage rather quickly that hasn't been seen in some time. This is true with all levels with the exception of early childhood through 6.
