The University and the School of Education have been granted approval to offer credential programs accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
The Elementary Education program (Multiple Subjects) is designed for individuals who wish to have a career in teaching at the early childhood and elementary levels. The Multiple Subjects credential authorizes the holder to teach in a multiple subject or self-contained classroom from preschool through the adult levels. This typically means through grade six (6).
The Secondary Education program (Single Subject) is designed for those who wish to have a career in teaching at the junior high and senior high school levels. This typically means grades seven (7) through twelve (12).
The Special Education credential authorizes the holder to provide instruction to students with Mild/Moderate or Moderate/Severe disabilities in grades K12.
Advising

2.) All-day student teaching.
Both phases of student teaching occur over an 18-week period in which the student teacher teaches in his or her subject area and is supervised by a university supervisor and/or a master teacher. Students receive oral and written feedback from their supervisor and/or master teachers; keep a teaching journal of lessons and reflections; and, prepare a professional portfolio for presentation at an end of quarter portfolio presentation meeting.
Interns are on the job trainees who are taking classes as they teach. Intern teaching occurs throughout the program rather than at the end of the program as in the case of traditional student teaching. Interns receive support from a university supervisor and peer coach and are required to attend university seminars and professional development activities required by their school district. To participate in the intern program students must have an employment contract with a local school district and meet CSUBs admission and Single Subject program requirements (please see brochure for details).
