About TechTeach

The College of Education is transforming the way educators will impact our future. Our nationally recognized teacher preparation program features coursework that translates to practical classroom skills, a yearlong residency in a school district co-teaching alongside a skilled mentor teacher, and the use of state-of-the-art digital technology to record, review and improve instruction.

Our line of sister programs - TechTeach Across Texas and TechTeach Across Rural Texas - brings the innovative training model around the state, allowing aspiring educators to be prepared in their communities and in the classrooms where they will teach after graduation.

 

Graduate Programs

The College of Education at Texas Tech University offers dozens of master's, doctoral and certificate programs that cover the spectrum of educational disciplines. Our three graduate departments each have their own missions, vision, leadership, and unique culture.

The Curriculum and Instruction department prepares curriculum leaders, researchers, and professors with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to analyze, construct, and evaluate curricula in ways that create optimal learning conditions for all learners.

Educational Psychology, Leadership, & Counseling is a diverse group of academic programs that equip students with a comprehensive knowledge of learning, motivation, development, and educational foundations.

The Department of Special Education prepares special education leaders who ensure individuals with disabilities and their families are provided equal access to services and education.
