Texas A&M PhD in Culture & Curriculum or Urban Education

[ftmathteacher]

Hi, I need some advice on what my chances are of getting into a PhD program. 

 

I've been a high school math teacher for 8 years now at a high-needs low SES school and have a BA in Ethnic Studies (minor math) and MA in Math Education from The University of Texas at Austin.  I've written curriculum for the district (Austin ISD) for 2 years now, and have been teacher lead for several years.  However, my master's program was highly geared towards teachers and we had to do a report instead of a thesis. 

 

Is that a possible factor that could hurt my chances of getting in?  Any help will be highly welcomed! 

 

Hook 'em!  or shall I start saying...gig 'em!
