LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law establishes the Commission on Teacher Credentialing and requires the commission, among other duties, to establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials, certificates, and permits, and for the accreditation of teacher preparation programs. Existing law specifies the minimum requirements for the preliminary multiple
subject, single subject, and educational specialist teaching credential, including a subject matter competence requirement demonstrated by either completion of a subject matter program that has been approved by the commission or passage of a subject matter examination.
This bill would authorize a candidate for the preliminary multiple
subject, single subject, or education specialist
teaching credential to demonstrate subject matter competence by completing higher education coursework in the subject matters related to the content area of the credential, or through a combination of a subject matter examination and higher education coursework in the subject matters related to the content area of the credential, as provided. The bill would also repeal a provision prohibiting the Commission on Teacher Credentialing from developing a new health science subject matter examination.
