University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

As one of the largest Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the Continental U.S., we are committed to producing reflective and culturally and linguistically sustaining educators through a coherent teacher preparation program emphasizing the following four strands: 1). practice-based teacher education, 2). reflective inquiry, 3). technology integration and 21st-century skills, and 4). spiraled high-leveraged practices. In producing critical educators for the Rio Grande Valley, the state of Texas, and beyond, we understand that collaborative relationships through community engagement and school partnerships provide the foundation of our efforts.
