Abstract

Abstract: Accelerate Online/OPTIONS is a three component program for certifying secondary mathematics and science teachers in Texas. The Accelerate Online/OPTIONS program provides those possessing or pursuing science degrees with an online program of education that can be completed in 12-18 months. The Online Curriculum consists of 35 online modules developed to engage the candidate with issues identified as necessary for a beginning teacher by the Texas Board of Educator Certification. The Field Based Experience consists of a 40 clock-hour supervised teaching field experience in a secondary school during the initial phase of the program. The final program component is a paid internship where candidates are supported by a trained mentor and an university supervisor, who guide, observe and provide constructive feedback to the interns during their year-long development as a beginning teacher. Over three years, program applicants have increased three fold.
