This program evaluation study sought to discern if a preparation pathway offered by Texas Tech University (TTU), one that leverages community college graduates, was yielding desirable outcomes. The Teacher Education Department at Texas Tech University is committed to producing quality teachers that can immediately impact children upon entering the profession. The Department hosts two unique teacher preparation pathways. The TechTeach (TT) pathway prepares students at the university in a face-to-face format on the main Texas Tech University campus in Lubbock, Texas. The TechTeach Across Texas (TTAT) pathway is an accelerated, online format that recruits graduates from Associate of Arts in Teaching programs at community colleges from across the state. The purpose of this study was to examine teaching effectiveness of TTAT graduates and compare their effectiveness to the core of graduates from standard--including graduates from the TT campus-based program--and alternative certification programs in the state of Texas. The findings from this study should help inform future policy and programmatic decisions, including the support and propagation of similar programs across the state.
