The iteach program has similar courses to that of Sam Houston but they are condensed into a shorter period. Most of the information is the same it just has the advantage of being quicker. If i go through the SED program at Sam doing my methods alone would put my goal of graduating and being done with school back a whole other year. Plus doing the methods part of the program would require me to commute to either Conroe or the Woodlands making it harder for me to work enough hours at my job to pay my bills. Alternative Certification through iteach is currently taking the lead.
