Induction: How to Get a Clear Credential Multiple Subject Student Teaching Orientation Next Steps Into the Teaching Profession
Your First Credential • Is called a Preliminary Credential • Is good for five years • Is a ‘2042’ Multiple Subject Credential • Has “CLAD” certification built-in
How to Clear Your Credential • You must clear through an Induction Program which means you must have a teaching job to clear your credential. • Induction programs may be operated by districts, COEs, consortiums or universities. • CSUSB does NOT have a Clear Credential Induction Program
What If??? • You don’t get a teaching position? • You get a position in a charter school? • You get a position in a private school? • You move out of state? • See the CTC Handout 4B on extension options
What is Induction? • A two year period of support for new teachers • With an assigned support provider who is a veteran teacher trained to mentor new teachers • Focused on your professional development based on your teaching assignment and your current knowledge and skills • The cost is just over $4000 a year but currently there is a state grant to cover the cost for public school teachers.
How Does It Work? • You meet regularly with your support provider for timely help with current events • You work with the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) • You complete a ‘curriculum’ called FACT Formative Assessment for California Teachers Watch this short BTSA video!
FACT • Starts with gathering information about your class, school and community and your attitudes, skills and knowledge • Proceeds with an Inquiry which is very similar to action research and will focus on an area of teaching you need to improve • Ends with a reflection on what you learned and what you still need
How is Induction Different From the Credential Program? • Compare the Induction process with your experiences in teacher preparation • How are they similar? • How are they different?
