Texas public school classrooms are at a critical turning point, according to new research from the UH’s Education Research Center. The latest Texas Teacher Workforce report reveals that the share of uncertified teachers has reached a historic high, while student enrollment and teacher employment numbers decline. “The findings of this report reinforce a sense of urgency for all who care about the educational outcomes of our more than 5 million K-12 students in Texas,” said Cathy Horn, dean of the UH College of Education.
