    After completing most of my EDUC courses and successfully completing a practice TExES exam, I will be ready for the real deal. Just like the practice exams, I will be able to visit https://twu.edu/texes-prep/ to prepare. In the TExES PREP center I will be able to find books and preparation manuals. On the PREP Canvas Site, I will find online resources, practice exams, study mates, and videos. TWU also holds face-to-face workshops throughout the year for preparation.
  • Student Teaching

    Student Teaching
    Student teaching is the last step in receiving a certification through Texas Woman's University. Student teaching takes a whole semester on its own which is why this is the recommended last step. Once complete, I will be eligible to receive my degree and practice as a certified teacher in the state of Texas.
