The Texas 教育 Agency recently designated 皇冠体育365赌博&M University-商务 with the Vetted Teacher Residency distinction along with nine other programs in Texas.
雪莉哈维尔, director of the Office of Educator Certification and Academic 服务 at A&移动商务, lead efforts to secure the designation.
“The Department of Curriculum and Instruction at A&移动商务 is tirelessly driven to provide world-class preparation for educators,” Harwell said. “It's a joy to assist them from the certification office as part of that process.”

Dr. 凯瑟琳·V. Dixon, associate professor of curriculum and instruction at A&移动商务, said the department is honored and excited to receive the designation.
