CS Supplementary Authorization IHE Courses

Additional Information: The computer science courses are offered within the Department of Engineering and Computer Science and are part of a traditional undergraduate degree major. However, some courses are offered in the afternoon or evening or via hybrid modality. Interested teachers would apply to the university as nondegree seeking students.

Additional Information: Full details and application available here.

Additional Information: Currently, we are running our 6th CSSA cohort.

Additional Information: Our Educational Technology Master Program is designed for teacher educators who also would like to pursue a supplementary teaching credential on computer science. Below is the list of the courses in our Educational Technology Master Program that meets the requirements according to the four categories listed for Computer Science in the Supplementary Authorization Guideline Book which was published in December 2019 by California Commission on Teacher Credentialing Certification Division. 1. Computational thinking: EDUI630, Math, Science, and Technology; EDUI693, Master's Project 2. Computing practice and programming: EDUI610, Web as an Interactive Educational Tool; EDUI620, Design of E-learning Environments; EDUI680, Current Technologies 3. Computer and communications devices: EDUI610, Web as an Interactive Educational Tool; EDUI630, Math, Science, and Technology 4. Impacts of computing: EDUI610, Web as an Interactive Educational Tool; EDUI630, Math, Science, and Technology Specific Authorization: We offer courses to discuss the impacts of computing: includes the social, ethical, and legal issues and impacts of computing, as well as the contributions of computer science to current and future innovations in the arts, business, humanities, medicine, and science. These topics may be included within courses that cover any of the other content.

Additional Information: Information available here.

Additional Information: We are happy to partner with LEAs and have federal grant funding to support some teachers.

Additional Information: Each of the graduate courses may be taken at any time and are self-paced. Tuition is $600/course.

Additional Information: The supplementary authorization programs at San Francisco State University have helped 100+ teachers receive their supplementary authorizations in CS. Please visit our webpage for more information.

Additional Information: Additional information about application and enrollment in the Introductory CS Authorization can be found on this website.

Additional Information: The following sequence of professional development courses in the joint UC Davis and UC Riverside Computer Science Supplementary Teaching Credential Authorization Program will meet the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) requirements. These courses will prepare K-12 teachers with fundamental CS knowledge and pedagogy to teach any K-12 standards-compliant computer science curriculum.  (1) Introduction to Teaching Computer Science, (2) Programming and Integration of CS into STEAM Teaching, (3) Development of Integrated CS and STEAM Curriculum with Physical Computing, (4) Computer Programming in C, (5) Data Structures and Software Design. Complete the first course to get a certificate as UC Davis C-STEM Certified Educator. Complete four courses to earn an Introductory Authorization and teach in grades 9 and below, or add the fifth course to earn a Specific Authorization to teach up through grade 12. Teachers will be able to teach CS classes or integrate CS and data science into their existing classroom teaching with computational thinking, computing practice and programming, impacts of computing, physical computing, Arduino as a communication device for data collection and data analysis with visualization, engineering, data structure and algorithms, software design, etc., aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Math, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and English Language Arts and Literacy Standards.

Additional Information: We have already prepared ~130 teachers through this program; all who have applied were awarded the CS supplementary authorization.

Additional Information: We offer a cohort model. We begin the courses in August, and they are completed by August of the following year. In total, there are 4-6 in person meetings. All courses have some synchronous (once a month for 3 courses in the series) and asynchronous meetings. The software development course requires 8-10 days of synchronous class meetings (about 3 hours each meeting) and online.

Additional Information: This Computer Science Supplementary Teaching Credential Authorization program is jointly offered through a UC Riverside and UC Davis partnership. Courses are offered at both campuses.

Additional Information: Fully asynchronous, start anytime.  No application required. No additional fees/costs. Click for more information.
