Studies have shown that California will continue to experience a teacher shortage during the next century. With the population of school age children increasing and the number of available, fully trained teachers not meeting this demand, Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district in the nation, must maintain an optimum level of new teacher training techniques and recruitment strategies. With the passage of Senate Bill 813, California initiated legislation that allowed local school districts to take a major role in the preparation of teachers. In 1987, Assembly Bill 1782 further expanded secondary alternative credentialing, to include elementary and elementary bilingual. Senate Bill 1657, passed in 1994, authorized the LAUSD to offer a District Intern Program for mild/moderate disabilities. As of September 2006, we are now able to offer a program for moderate/severe disabilities. This credential authorizes teaching students with autism, emotional disturbance, mental retardation severe and multiple disabilities. Effective July 1, 2002, Senate Bill 2042, expands the District Intern Program to become a three-year program in order to meet the new standards set forth by new California state requirements. The Los Angeles Unified School District continues to be a pioneer and leader in alternative certification since 1984. More than 8000 teachers have earned their Professional Clear California Credential through the District Intern Program. In March 2000, the District Intern Program
was evaluated and received full accreditation as a teacher training
institution and as a licensing recommending agency by the California
Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC).
The District Intern Program offers credentials in the following subjects: Multiple Subjects (Grades K–6) - Not being offered for the 2008-'09 or 2009-'10 school year.
