Requirements
to Clear the Designated Subjects Credential - Adult Education |
|
Once your
application materials have been reviewed, you will be given a
five-year preliminary credential from the Commission. You will
also be given a contract outlining the necessary requirements
and corresponding deadlines to "clear" your
credential requirements. Contract requirements will differ
slightly from those listed below if you have previously
completed teaching methodology through another credential
program before applying for a Designated Subjects
Credential.
If your preliminary credential was processed through Cal State
Long Beach, you are expected to complete the assigned
coursework at Cal State Long Beach. If you decide to attend
another college instead, you should plan to clear your
preliminary credential through that college's
credential-processing facility. And you should make
arrangements with that facility before beginning your
coursework. You should not attempt to complete half of your
classes at Cal State Long Beach and half at another campus.
Courses in different programs do not transfer "straight
across" and you will end up missing important elements
and relearning previous instruction by mixing up your
methodology courses this way.
In addition, some of the courses you take for your Designated
Subjects Credential may also be applied toward coursework for
a Master of Arts Degree in Occupational Studies.
