The program is based on a clearly stated rationale that has a sound theoretical and practical foundation anchored to the knowledge base of teacher education.

While Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers are typically considered to be experts in their industry or field, they often join the teaching profession without extensive background and formal training in teaching practices and instructional strategies. The CTE Teacher Preparation Program was established to provide an effective transition into teaching focused on increasing the efficacy and retention rates of beginning teachers in California.
Our program offers synchronous and asynchronous components which can all be completed virtually. We understand the strengths and challenges of building and supporting CTE pathways in the Northstate. Our goal is to not only support CTE teachers in the credentialing program but to help them successfully develop their students' skill sets to enable them to continue their education or enter the workforce. We offer a high level of support and individualization within the program. We monitor each candidate's progress providing them timely and personalized feedback to enhance their effectiveness.
Our goal is to support your district in the retention of quality CTE teachers and help them build connections with industry partners in our area.
