In early October, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that adds two seats to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). These seats will be reserved specifically for two members with experience in Early Childhood Education (ECE). This is a first in the history of the CTC. The new ECE representatives will help govern policies around teacher preparation and credentialing, and will help better align and integrate California’s Universal Pre-K and ECE mixed delivery system with the rest of the TK-12 system.
The CTC is the governing board that oversees standards for educator preparation programs and decides teacher credential and permit requirements. To learn more about how this could benefit early childhood educators, please click on the following links for two stories that provide more details.
