CTC Education Career Counselor Nicholas Newman discusses the changes occurring in California to make obtaining your teaching credential more straightforward.
So excited I have a bachelors in business and getting info about starting credential process . It’s overwhelming and yes there are many options ! That’s correct . However many guidelines and things you need to do before entering the program. I’m glad that now my math and English courses can be used in the place of certain exams ! So excited !
@@gagandeepgrewal9 you can check with your local county office of education and ask them about the credentialing pathway. You do need a Bachelors degree but it does not need to be in education - mine is in Political Science which turns out to be a good thing because one of the things you have to show is that you have a clear understanding of the Constitution, either by college level courses or taking a test. The state is also offering the Golden State Grant which covers most of the tuition for the county programs. They work hand in hand with the state credentialing board. You work as a paid intern while taking classes on Saturdays. It's a lot of work and dedication, but it's not impossible. I'm doing it and I'm over 60. If I can make it work, almost anyone can. Best of luck. We need dedicated teachers.
Dear Fox, Would it possible include a link to the opportunities your presenters are offering or possibly ask the presenter to explain where people need to go. It's very odd you would never explain to people where to go to receive an intake.
1:19 Absolute lie. What multiple pathways? All of it requires taking major pay cut because I would have to start at Step 1 and be paid significantly less than what I'm worth with 10+ years of industry subject-matter experience as well as training experience because that's how the credentialing process works as well as union-created contracts that has no matriculation process for ensuring fair compensation for those with working experience. And so if I'm working with adults and can be paid around $83k for established set of hours, versus being forced to start at Step 1 at the relevant education background (Which is all they look for), it makes zero sense to ever enter teaching, even as a substitute teacher. And on top of that, stupid DEI and woke activists makes it so I am not teaching the material, I am baby sitting fragile GenZ kids and their dysfunctional families because progressives don't value education systems in what makes you successful in the world, unless "professional victim" is what you're aiming toward. The world doesn't care what your pronouns are or what your skin color is. They care if you can apply math in a working environment and achieve results for what you want to do (e.g. put up a roof). And there are ZERO pathways for industry experts in this field to enter the education sector because it's clear the CTC doesn't value industry experts, but only those who want to subject themselves to the woke agenda and be molded out by the teaching credentialing process to follow the idea that 'math is racist'. A website that puts on a pretty infograph isn't a "new approach", it's just putting lipstick on a pig.
So you’re not actually a teacher yet talk as if you already taught kids formally already. Teaching adults is different than teaching kids. And what is your subject matter? 10 years as a roofer doesn’t mean a whole lot if you can’t actually teach the math behind it. There are exams to verify that. There are programs where if you have a Bachelor degree or 3 years of experience you can start getting credentialed more easily. Also many districts do start higher in the step for experience but I do agree that it’s limited. They should start teachers with out of class experience higher. Funnily enough the progressive people I met tend to have better kids with better values. In my experience both progressive and conservative people value education, it’s just progressives value it for all and conservatives only for their kids. There is also a lot of research that shows treating kids better in respect to their gender and race does actually lead to better outcomes. Education still needs some reform, but your post makes you sound uneducated.
The real challenge is understanding this presentation.

How is it going?

Then educating children is not a valid pathway for you and you should not be talking as if you have been a credentialed TEACHER for 10 years.
