Texas Institute for Teacher Education:

MC has entered into an articulation agreement with the Texas Institute for Teacher Education. This agreement allows MC students to obtain an alternative teaching certificate. ​The Texas Institute for Teacher Education is a private, faith-based Educator Preparation Program dedicated to transforming K–12 education through the integration of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, integrity, empathy, and servant leadership. Founded on the conviction that teaching is a sacred calling rather than a mere profession, the institute seeks to prepare educators who embody both intellectual rigor and moral character. The Texas Institute for Teacher Education is commended by the Texas Education Agency for its commitment to academic excellence, ethical leadership, and the holistic development of teacher candidates. The program blends evidence-based pedagogy with personalized mentorship, reflective spiritual formation, and rigorous field-based experiences that cultivate resilience, cultural responsiveness, and transformative impact in today’s diverse classrooms. Anchored in the belief that Jesus Christ is the greatest Teacher of all, the Texas Institute for Teacher Education guides candidates to emulate His model of teaching, one marked by humility, compassion, and unwavering truth. Through this perspective, educators are trained to see their classrooms not merely as academic spaces but as sanctuaries for growth, justice, and human dignity. The mission of the Texas Institute for Teacher Education extends beyond certification. It is a movement to restore the moral and spiritual foundations of education by equipping teachers who serve with excellence and lead with purpose. Each graduate leaves the Texas Institute for Teacher Education as a servant leader prepared to shape minds, touch hearts, and illuminate the path of learning for generations to come.
