Alternative Certification Programs are designed for individuals who hold a college or university degree but do not hold a teaching certificate.
Elementary
With the exception of elementary bilingual education applicants and a limited number of shortage areas within special education, Coppell ISD does not consider or place general elementary candidates who are enrolled in an alternative program.
Secondary
Secondary applicants participating in alternative certification programs are occasionally considered in a limited number of shortage areas only, once the District's pool of fully certified secondary candidates has been depleted.
