Our elementary credential program prepares candidates to teach in
linguistically and culturally diverse K-6 classrooms. You will
work with faculty who have developed collaborative relationships
with resident teachers who jointly provide guidance and mentoring
throughout your year-long credential program. We also offer an
optional Bilingual Cross Cultural Language and Academic
Development (BCLAD) emphasis.
The coursework during the first year is focused and intensive,
enabling you to complete the courses and student-teaching
component required for the Teaching Credential in three academic
quarters.
