UIW Teacher Network The UIW Teacher Network offers high-quality support to our graduates as they enter the teaching profession beyond our certification program.

We provide our members with opportunities to collaborate and grow professionally beyond college graduation. Our goal is to provide our teachers with on-going support during their critical first three years of teaching. Current research shows that many teachers leave the profession within the first five years. The UIW Teacher Network is committed to helping our alumni remain in the classroom well b

eyond those five years.

​For new teachers, the start of your professional career can be both exhilarating and daunting, but you will not be alone. The UIW Teacher Network will be there to support you. UIW Teacher Network - "Empowering Educators through Support, Growth, and Collaboration"

Meet Christi Blount, class of 2009 & 2011.

Christi currently teaches at Stinson Middle School in Northside ISD, where she serves as the Special Education Campus Coordinator. This will be her 16th year in education.

Over the years, Christi has had the opportunity to teach Applied ELA, co-teach ELA and Social Studies, and teach Literacy Skills. This year, she is excited to begin a new chapter as the Special Education Campus Coordinator. Christi shared, "What I love most about my school community is the dedication of our staff and the relationships we build with our students and families. There is a genuine commitment to helping every student succeed, and our campus continues to grow through collaboration and teamwork."

This school year, Christi is looking forward to supporting both students and teachers in her new role, strengthening special education services, fostering transparent communication, and working together to create an inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Meet Dr. Leslie Holland, class of 2017, MAT.

She currently teaches at Somerset Academy Collegiate, where she has been since the school opened in 2017. Leslie teaches College Prep English IV, English III, AP Literature and Composition, AP Language and Composition, and AP Capstone.

What Leslie loves most about her school community is that, even though the school has a small enrollment, the community is like a family. She has had students and their siblings many years in a row, and she expressed that it is like having an extended family. Leslie has even attended a few weddings of former students, and has written college and job recommendations for many others. Additionally, she has created friendships with parents and grandparents. Today, some of her best friends are her teaching colleagues, and her administration is supportive of everyone.

Leslie shared, "What I am most looking forward to this year is working with the AP Science and AP Math teachers to take around 60 students to Johnson Space Center, NASA, to help them kickstart some ideas about their Capstone projects for the coming year."
