Pearland ISD may serve students at Walden University and Houston Christian University for teaching programs if the board of trustees approves two affiliation agreements at its Dec. 9 meeting.

The overview

The affiliation agreements will allow PISD to serve as an approved field site for Walden University and Houston Christian University students to complete:

• Teacher preparation
• Demonstration teaching
• Principal preparation requirements

Also of note

If both agreements are approved, the term for Walden University students will be automatically renewed for four one-year terms, while Houston Christian University will have a five-year term with PISD, according to district documents.
