The Commission on Teacher Credentialing has appointed Darrell Woo as the new School Board Representative on the Commission’s Committee of Credentials.

This document provides guidance on the fieldwork and clinical practice requirements for Multiple and Single Subject (MS/SS) Preliminary Teaching credential programs.

A school district, county office of education or charter school may apply for funding under this program to enhance the state’s efforts to address teacher recruitment and retention issues throughout the state by assisting local education agencies with attracting and supporting the preparation and continued learning of teachers, principals and other school leaders. Note: eligible applications must have a CD or CDS code issued by the California Department of Education in order to apply for this grant program. The RFP in PDF format is posted along with a set of fillable application forms in Word format for applicants to complete and submit along with the narrative application text.  Electronic and paper copies of CalEd grant applications are due by 5:00 p.m. on October 27, 2017.

A revised edition of the Administrator’s Assignment Manual (AAM) has been completed and is now posted on the Commission’s website for your use.

This edition features many new charts with the goal of providing more guidance with a number of specific assignment issues. Some past history and less common situations or options included in the prior edition has been left out to focus more on currently-issued credentials and the related questions most often received by Commission staff. The revised AAM will be a helpful tool in answering many questions posed by educational agencies.

The questions and answers relating to the Classified School Employee Teacher Credentialing Program Request for Proposals is now available.
