If you need clarification on the requirements or how to renew your credential, it is listed on your MCOE notice and can be viewed in your CCTC profile.

CCTC site main page link https://www.ctc.ca.gov/

 

How to clear your credential: https://www.ctc.ca.gov/docs/default-source/credentials/files/clear-credentials.pdf

 

Receiving a 30-day Substitute Permit is easier than ever! Do you know someone who would like to become a substitute teacher? Commission on Teacher Credentialing Emergency 30-Day Substitute Permit information can be found here. https://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/30-Day-Substitute-Teaching-Permit-(CL-505p) I assist with all permitting if needed.

 

The basic skills test requirement is being waived for a limited time.

Passage of SB 1397 has temporarily waived the Basic Skills Requirement from January 1, 2023, to July 1, 2024. Basic skills proficiency will once again be required for the initial issuance of the Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit after July 1, 2024. As long as your permit remains active, this will apply. 

 

The Basic Skill Requirement still applies to other credentialing permits. Contact me if you need information or application assistance.

EL Notes from Tina

KQED has a vast library of Spanish language learning videos. You can filter by grade span, TK-12.

The Summative ELPAC window opens February 1st (I can't believe I'm already talking about this!!). It is time to start planning for ELPAC practice tests and instruction. I will see many of you in person about this, but if you want to get going, here's the website. Select the 'Student Interface' and sign in as guest. Pick your grade level. Choose the PRACTICE tests, not the TRAINING tests.
