October 2017 Commission Meeting Agenda Items 3D and 3F are now available.

The October 26-27, 2017 Commission Agenda is now available. Items 3D and 3F will be posted next week.

Due to the recent fires that have ravaged parts of Northern and Southern California this week, resulting in evacuations, school closures, and suspension of district and county office operations, the Commission and the Center recognize there are CalED program applicants in these affected areas who will need more time to complete their grant applications.  

The Governor has declared a state of emergency in Napa, Sonoma, Yuba, Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Nevada, and Orange Counties. Applicants from these areas will be granted an extension of the application deadline to November 3, 2017. This means electronic and paper copies of proposals from applicants in the declared emergency areas must reach the Commission on Teacher Credentialing by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 3, 2017. 

Applicants who are not from the declared emergency areas or whose consortium applications do not include an LEA located in one of the above-indicated emergency areas must comply with the original application deadlines of  5 p.m. on October 27, 2017 for both electronic and paper copies to reach the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

Coded Correspondence 17-07: Agencies Seeking to Provide Foreign Transcript Services for Teaching and Service Credentials in California is now available.

This document provides responses to questions received by the deadline of September 22, 2017 relative to the CalEd Grant Request For Proposals.

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.
