College of Education commended for teacher prep program
The State Board of Educator Certification (SBEC) has recognized The University of Texas at Arlington’s Educator Preparation Program with a commendation for its innovative approaches to educating the state’s future teachers.
“We are very proud UTA’s Educator Preparation Program is being recognized by the SBEC,” said Casey Graham-Brown, interim dean of the College of Education. “We take great pride in being acknowledged as a top Texas program for preparing future educators. We are honored to receive this commendation recognizing our program as a quality teaching program for future teachers.”
The SBEC recognizes high-performing educator preparation programs in four categories: Rigorous and Robust Preparation, Preparing the Educators Texas Needs, Preparing Educators for Long-Term Success and Innovative Educator Preparation.

“The proper preparation of our future educators is imperative for success in the classroom,” Graham-Brown said. “I want to thank our faculty for their continued commitment to innovating our programs and giving our students quality preparation for great success in their careers.”
