Clinical Teaching Placement-Fall 2012!

ACT Houston offers two routes for certification -- Internship AND Clinical Teaching. 
The best route in these times of budget cuts and restrictive hiring by local ISDs is Clinical Teaching.  Clinical Teachers are Student Teachers who:

  • receive no pay

  • receive support from a Field Supervisor   
  • do not have a Probationary Certificate
  • receive a Standard Certificate at the end of the 14-week practicum
