(1) Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to issue an authorization to a teacher to provide specified services to limited-English-proficient pupils, and sets forth the minimum requirements for that authorization. This bill would also authorize the commission to issue the authorization to an applicant who possesses a valid teaching credential and who holds certain certificates issued by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. (2) Existing law requires the commission to issue district intern credentials authorizing persons employed by a school district to provide classroom instruction to pupils with mild and moderate disabilities in special education classes. This bill would delete the provision specifying the authorization is only for pupils with mild and moderate disabilities. (3) Existing law authorizes persons holding district intern credentials to teach in kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, in a self-contained program or in self-contained bilingual classes if they have either completed a commission-approved academic diversified or liberal arts subject matter program or have met the subject matter requirement by passing the subject matter examination approved by the commission. This bill would instead authorize those district intern credentialholders to teach in those grades and classes if they have met the subject matter requirement. (4) Existing law specifies that it is the intent of the Legislature that upon recommendation by the governing board, that district interns be issued professional credentials rather than preliminary credentials upon completion of successful service as a teacher pursuant to specified provisions. This bill would instead specify that district interns be issued preliminary credentials pursuant to those provisions. (5) Existing law requires the commission to issue a clear teaching credential to a teacher who is licensed to teach in a state other than California and who is certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, in the area in which the teacher has received the national certification. This bill would also require the commission to issue a clear services credential authorizing service in the area in which the person has received national certification. The bill would also delete obsolete provisions and make conforming changes.
