The other approach that is becoming how the vast majority of alternative program candidates receive their training is through online delivery.
Some online programs allow you start at any point in the time and work at your own pace. Others require you to follow a more standard semester schedule. Teachworthy actually combines both approaches. For content that is easily learned through video, online assignments, and self-paced work, Teachworthy provides 11 web-based learning modules.

Both will provide you the required training and hopefully both will have good rapport with the school districts where you want to teach. If you live in one region of Texas or out of state, then a statewide program will likely be more helpful. Programs like Teachworthy that can work with every district in Texas help candidates have the broadest job opportunities. If you are just graduating college and can move anywhere, then a statewide program will be a great fit.
