Classified School Employee Teacher Credentialing Program Annual Data Reporting Directions

General Information

As part of the mandatory data collection and reporting requirement for the California Classified School Employee Teacher Credential Program grant, LEA grantee must provide all requested data to the Commission’s for evaluation and reporting. Please carefully read the information below on how to access and complete the data spreadsheet, and additional resources. Data submission is due on Friday, July 11, 2025, by 5:00PM. 

Directions

The individually shared spreadsheet is managed by the Commission and the data will be updated annually by the LEA grantee lead during the life of the grant. Do not create and share a new spreadsheet with the Commission- it will not be reviewed.

Annual Data Submission: When the data is updated on or before July 11, 2025, by 5:00PM, please email ClassifiedGrants@ctc.ca.gov to confirm that the data is updated.

Spreadsheet Access

The grant program manager has been given editing access to the specific spreadsheet that has been customized to the approved grant. This is a live spreadsheet through Microsoft. This is where all the data is submitted.

1. To access the spreadsheet, click the link shared in the email.
2. This message will appear on an internet browser tab. It will show the grant lead’s email. Then click, “Send Code.”
3. This will send a code to the same grant email 
   1. Just in case it doesn’t arrive, check the SPAM/junk folder.
   2. If it still doesn’t arrive, check with the LEA’s IT team, as some stringent anti-spam systems in place may reject an incoming email without a valid mx record for the domain. Sharepointonline.com is missing a valid mx record and if the provider (temporarily) disables the MX record requirement, the verification code will arrive 
      
4. Enter the code from the email (not the example above).
   1. To stay signed in, check off the box, “Keep me signed in.” Otherwise, a new code will be needed each time.
      
5. The spreadsheet should now be accessible through your browser- you do not need an Excel license.
6. If an additional staff member needs editing access, please contact ClassifiedGrants@ctc.ca.gov.
