Did you know that in the past five years, over 4,000 UNT students have been trained to teach or become school administrators in the state of Texas? This is largely due to the instruction and guidance of the Department of Teacher Education and Administration (TE&A). TE&A offers undergraduate and graduate programs to develop highly competent teachers, school administrators, and other specialists who wish to provide educational leadership to organizations. Effective instruction, curriculum development, and evaluation are emphasized in all programs. Students use current theory and research to make decisions about effective practice. The department also strives to improve practice through generation after generation of new knowledge and through service to educational institutions, government agencies, and practioners at all levels.
