California teaching credential question?

We Answered:

You don't have to show proof of your PD unless you're audited. So far, I've heard of no one being audited, but it's good idea to keep those PD hours logged and available for evidence in case they actually decide to check things out.

Jonathan Said:

what are the necessary teaching credentials for an online professor?

We Answered:

Online schools will expect at least a masters degree if not a PhD in the field you want to teach. They don't pay very well and most will not offer benefits. It's not really a career to aspire to.

Nora Said:

Question about renewing a single subject teaching credential in California?

We Answered:

I was under the impression that going through the BTSA program was all you needed to do to get the Professional Clear, thus renewing your credential. I refused to do BTSA so I am doing a 5th year program that will cover it. After that first renewal/clear then you need to start keeping track of the hours. Its all confusing so don't take my thoughts as gospel.

Marian Said:

Can you get a teaching credential online?

We Answered:

strictly online no.

your state (CA - my state also) requires student teaching at multiple levels. This you cannot do online - you will need a school that can supervise your student teaching portion.

Further - CA only recognizes one online school - Western Governors. I do know of a few people who did their credential in this manner - mostly online, but they had multiple meetings with their mentor during the student teachign portion. From what they told me, it was a very very time intensive way to go.

You might want to look into the CalState system - they mostly hold their credentialing work after school hours. I teach in Los Angeles and know of quite a few teachers who simply went to Cal State.
