Resident Teacher Training & Resources
Options for New Resident Teachers
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requires that all Teacher Preparation Programs provide new Resident Teachers a minimum of 10 hours of initial orientation to the program curriculum, information on effective supervision approaches such as cognitive coaching, adult learning theory, and current content-specific pedagogy and instructional practices.
Our goal is to make this process as simple as A + B + C = 10 hours completed.
