UHCL SoE GATER² Program

What is GATER²?
GATER² stands for the Galveston Area Teacher Education Recruitment and Retention program. In an effort to bring bright, dedicated students into the world of teaching and into the area public schools, GATER² is a collaboration of Galveston I.S.D., Galveston College and University of Houston-Clear Lake. These three Gulf Coast institutions are working together to provide a step-by-step program of community college preparation, university graduation, and school district experience, to train future teachers for careers in education in the Galveston area.

GATER² students begin by taking course work at Galveston College and transferring to UHCL to take junior and senior level courses. While students attend college at both campuses, Galveston I.S.D. will provide GATER² students with opportunities for employment and experiential learning. Internships and field experiences will be available in the Galveston area for interested students. Galveston I.S.D. is always looking for qualified, dedicated teachers, and your involvement in this program can be the first step in finding a teaching job in the Galveston area.

What else does GATER² offer?
As a student in the GATER² program, you will be provided with a variety of special services, including advising assistance, employment opportunities, career counseling, scholarship opportunities, and other programs for your journey to become a teacher a positive, rewarding and successful experience. Each year, students are encouraged to apply for scholarships, awarded specifically to Galveston area teacher education students.

As new programs are developed, services for GATER² students continue to grow. We at Galveston I.S.D., Galveston College and University of Houston-Clear Lake are committed to providing Galveston area students with every opportunity to make the dream of becoming a teacher a reality.
