In accordance with 19 TAC §227 and §229, Lone Star College Educator Preparation Program is required to provide candidates with access to information regarding educator supply and demand, and program performance data.

The following resources are provided for compliance and transparency purposes:

• Supply and Demand on the Educator Workforce in Texas

  Educator Reports and Data

  State educator workforce data from the Texas Education Agency, including reports on certification, employment, demographics, attrition, and newly certified educators — provided for regulatory transparency and compliance.

  TEA Teacher Shortage Areas

  Official TEA designation of educator shortage areas in Texas, outlining high-need certification fields and regions for workforce planning and compliance transparency.

• EPP Performance Over the Last 5 Years

  In April 2024, Lone Star College's Educator Preparation Program entered into an Agreed Order with the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) following a TEA review. During this period, the program paused admissions in 2024 to implement required corrective actions and strengthen overall program quality.

  Key actions completed include:

  • Successful transition of the ATCP from LSC-Tomball to LSC-University Park
  • Strategic streamlining of certification offerings from 37 to 6 tracks
  • Comprehensive curriculum revisions aligned with current Texas Education Agency (TEA) standards and educator preparation best practices

  The program reopened admissions in Fall 2025 and continues to monitor performance to ensure ongoing compliance and continuous improvement.

  The performance data displayed below is sourced directly from the Texas Education Agency's Educator Preparation Data Dashboards and ASEP Accountability Reports.
