Rice Education Club

2012-2013 Events

If you are interested in any aspect of education, you picked the right place. The Rice Education Club is a group of students and faculty interested in furthering the aims of education in Houston and beyond. Some of us are students in the Rice teacher certification program, some are graduate students in the Master of Arts in Teaching program, some of us simply enjoy education classes and are thinking of maybe teaching someday, and some of us are simply curious, as students ourselves, what education is all about.

We welcome any Rice student who has any interest in education, especially secondary education. If you are looking for Texas certification through Rice, we especially encourage you to get in touch with us as soon as possible to get information on classes you may need to take, requirements for various specializations, and your options in pursuing your certification.

Do you want to get started teaching? Don't know how? This thorough compilation of information, compiled by former club president Dan Heller, outlines and categorizes a wealth of information on finding jobs, getting certified, and getting teaching experience in public, private, internation, and summer schools.
