teachHOUSTON is an NSM Teacher Certification Program committed to producing outstanding high school STEM teachers and is a partnership of the University of Houston College of Education, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and local school districts. teachHOUSTON emphasizes early and on-going field-based teaching experiences, while students work to obtain a bachelor’s degree in STEM, and STEM teaching certification for grades 7-12. The non-certification option is open to undergraduate mathematics and science majors interested in having some experience in secondary STEM teaching or who want to expand their professional skills, but do not wish to be certified to teach, and wish to satisfy their NSM capstone.
