Due to the current budget uncertainties District Intern opportunities for the 2010-11 school year cannot be determined. Please check this website periodically for updates.
The District Intern Program initiated in 1984 with the implementation of Senate Bill 813, authorizing California school districts to take a major role in the preparation of teachers. Like universities and colleges, the Los Angeles Unified School District began its first alternative credentialing program for new teachers in critical secondary subject areas. In 1987 the Governor signed Assembly bill 1786, which further expanded secondary alternative credentialing to include elementary and elementary bilingual. (Currently the elementary options are not available). Seven years later, in 1994, Senate Bill 1675 passed, which authorized LAUSD to expand its District Intern Program to include an Education Specialist Program in Mild-to-Moderate Disabilities. The mild-to-moderate credential authorizes teaching students with specific learning disabilities, emotional disturbance and mild-to-moderate mental retardation. In 2006 the Program continued to grow by offering an Education Specialist Program in Moderate-to-Severe Disabilities. The moderate-to-severe credential authorizes teaching students with autism, emotional disturbance, severe mental retardation and multiple disabilities. The District Intern Program also offers an Education Specialist Program for those who already hold a general education credential. The Credentialed Educators Now Teaching Special Education, also known as CENTSE, is offered for teachers of mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe disabilities. In 2000 the District Intern Program was evaluated and received full accreditation as a teacher training institution by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). The Program length is 3 years. For those participating in the CENTSE Program the length is 2 years. All programs meet the new standards set forth by California state requirements. The Los Angeles Unified School District has narrowed the shortage of teachers in critical subject fields by implementing and expanding its alternative credential program over the past two decades. More than 8,000 teachers have earned their teacher certification with LAUSD. Currently, more than 500 District Interns are enrolled in the Program.
The District Intern Program offers credentials in the following subjects: Multiple Subjects (Grades K–6) - (Not being offered for the 2009-10 or 2010-11 school year)
