Credential Alert Credential Alerts are periodic updates from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) available to colleges and universities. This information is provided here for your reference and also posted next to the Credential Anaylst's office at the Eureka Campus.
California colleges and universities and district intern programs implemented a new English learner standard during 2002 for both the Ryan and the new SB 2042 Commission-accredited multiple and single subject teacher preparation programs. The AB 1059 programs replace the CLAD emphasis programs that are being phased out.
A detailed analysis of the CLAD knowledge and skill areas in relation to the new English learner requirement for multiple and single subject teacher preparation programs under AB 1059 and SB 2042 were studied. The results of the analysis showed that the English learner authorization under the new standards is sufficiently comparable to the CLAD authorization to allow teachers to teach English learners in regular classrooms and in designated settings. Therefore, the new English learner authorization in AB 1059 and SB 2042 is the same as the CLAD authorization. Beginning July 1, 2002, candidates admitted to a preliminary teaching credential program had to be enrolled in an approved AB 1059 program. CLAD emphasis programs were not able to admit any new candidates after that time, although candidates already enrolled in a CLAD emphasis program, or any other program that offers a preliminary credential, could complete the program in which they were originally admitted. CLAD emphasis programs will eventually cease to exist, and AB 1059 and SB 2042 programs will replace them.
