ADVOCATE • SERVE • LEAD

The National Center for Teacher Education (NCTE) serves in a leadership role for teacher education initiatives, working collaboratively with community colleges, school districts, business, education groups, government, and community leaders to develop programs and services that support the community college role in teacher education locally, statewide, and nationally. NCTE is based out of the Academic and Student Affairs Division at the Maricopa County Community Colleges District Office (MCCCD).

The Student Portal provides a central location for information about Maricopa teacher education programs and becoming a teacher in Arizona.

This webpage is designed to assist high school and college students, or re-careering adults, in finding information about the education field, as well as the teacher education and early childhood programs offered through Maricopa Community Colleges.

The Maricopa County Community College District has ten colleges throughout the greater Phoenix area that serve thousands of students. Teacher education programs are offered at all ten colleges; early childhood programs are offered at seven. All colleges partner with universities in an effort to make your journey to becoming a teacher a smooth one.
