The Single Subject English District Intern Program may not be available for the '09-'10 school year. Further notice will be available mid-March 2009.
District Interns in Secondary Single Subjects for English, Math, Math Foundations, Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences
and Physics 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 Monday
evenings and selected Saturdays. All content, formerly a part
of the CLAD certificate, is now incorporated in the teacher preparation
program.
Completion requirements for the Teacher
Preparation phase include passage of the Teaching Performance
Assessments (TPA) by the end of the 18 months in order to be recommended
for the Single Subject Preliminary California Credential. Following
the Teacher Preparation phase is an additional 18 months to complete
the Teacher Induction phase in order to be recommended for the
Clear California Credential.
The Early
Completion Option (ECO -Fast Track) for Single Subjects
provides an opportunity to earn the California Prelimary Credential
in one year. 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.
