Teacher Certification Program



Component 3: Curriculum

Modules: Pedagogy and Responsibilities Standards

In preparation for the PPR All-level (160) Certification test, we plan two separate courses: PPR and the content area of Technology Applications.

The Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities Standards, Domain Competencies and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Technology Applications shall be the curricular basis for all educator preparation programs and certifications at Austin Community College.

The first section addresses the curriculum as it applies to the Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities and how they relate to the Domain Competencies. The second component addresses content specific curriculum for Technology Applications and how they relate to the Domain Competencies and Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.

Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (PPR):

A comprehensive curriculum framework shall be provided to all participants in the Teacher Certification Program. The curriculum framework is aligned with the PPR Standards and Domain Competencies adopted by the State Board of Educator Certification. Instruction will address current research and methodology to provide teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary for successful classroom instruction. To ensure success, evaluations demonstrating student mastery of these professional standards and competencies are built into the program. All students must pass the Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities TExES to receive certification from the State Board of Educator Certification. TCP participants will receive a minimum of 108 contact hours of training in the PPR modules of the program. The training is divided into 15 training modules as follows:

|Module One: Human Development |Module Two: Supportive Environment |
