The Multiple Subject Intern Program (including Middle
School Core) is not available for the 2009-2010 or 2010-2011 school years.
District Interns in Elementary, Bilingual Elementary
in Spanish and Middle School Core enroll in the Professional Development
Plan leading to the Preliminary California Credential and a
Clear California Credential.
District Interns begin the Professional Development
Plan with the pre-requisite 240 clock hours of pre-service training
provided before entering the classroom. Classes are held on Thursday
evenings and selected Saturdays (Middle School Core District Interns
also attend selected Mondays). All content which was formerly
a part of the CLAD certificate, is now incorporated in the teacher
preparation program.
District Interns in the Bilingual
Elementary in Spanish Program must attend an additional
120 clock hours of training conducted during the second summer.
Bilingual Elementary District Interns earn the Preliminary California
Credential with BCLAD Emphasis and a Clear California
Credential with BCLAD Emphasis.
Completion
requirements for the Teacher Preparation phase include passage
of the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA) and the
Teaching Performance Assessments (TPA) by the end of the 18 months
in order to be recommended for the Multiple Subjects Preliminary
California Credential. Following the Teacher Preparation phase
is an additional 18 months to complete the Teacher Induction phase
to be recommended for the Clear California Credential.
The
Early Completion Option (ECO -Fast Track) for
Multiple Subjects provides an opportunity to earn the California
Prelimary Credential in as little as six months. In addition to
meeting the pre-employment requirements for the general District
Intern Program, passage of the appropriate ETS Teaching
Foundations exam must be completed prior to entering
the program. Candidates who culminate from the Early Completion
Option (ECO-Fast Track) Program will matriculate into the District
Intern Induction Program which leads to the California
Clear Credential.
The
District Intern Program is tuition-free for those who culminate,
are recomended for a credential, and serve within the District
for one additional year.
