Secondary Education Program

     The Secondary Education Program is designed for people who wish to have a career in teaching at the junior high, middle school or high school level. The credential authorizes teaching in single disciplines, such as math, English, physical education or social studies from pre-school through the adult level. This usually means seventh through twelfth grades.

Single Subject Credential

     Teacher candidates in California are required to demonstrate competence in the subject matter they will be authorized to teach. Candidates for the Single Subject Credential have two options available for satisfying this requirement. They can either complete a Commission-approved undergraduate subject matter preparation program or they can pass the appropriate Commission-adopted subject matter examination(s) (Education Code Sections 44280 and 44310). Because they satisfy the same requirement, these two options are to be as aligned and congruent as possible.
