The trend of non-traditional pathways into teaching continues. While outside the parameter of induction, our goal is simple: teacher retention in the Northstate. We are offering a program in the 2024-2025 school year for those teachers serving in a classroom who are not yet credentialed, and not in an intern program, at no cost to those using our induction services. This includes candidates who are currently teaching with Short Term Substitute Permits (STSPs), Provisional Intern Permits (PIPs), or waivers.
We coordinate with CSU, Chico, and Simpson University to outline the steps these candidates need to take to get into an intern program. Candidates need to enroll in prerequisites for an intern program before they can officially start. We will help them navigate the action steps needed to be taken before the expiration of the PIP/STSP. Although we are not affiliated financially with them in any way. we have contacts with two local Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs).
