With the University of Dallas Catholic Teacher Certificate, you will meet all of the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department pedagogy requirements for teaching in Texas Catholic schools. The program is comprised of 18 credit hours and offers emphases in elementary or secondary education.
Teachers in Catholic schools have a unique responsibility. They are called to be well prepared in subject matter and Catholic values and to integrate those values into their teaching. The Church relies on Catholic school teachers to deliver a Christian education that integrates the insights of faith into all teaching and learning experiences, in all content areas. They are charged with the formation of the whole child and guide students by both word and deed to develop and enrich their human knowledge through the light of faith.
