SACRAMENTO—The Commission on Teacher Credentialing’s Committee on Accreditation approved six new university California Teachers of English Learners (CTEL) programs designed to prepare teachers for instruction to English language learners at its May 1 meeting. Additionally, three new programs for Administrative Services Credentials, one new Multiple Subject Credential program and one new Reading Specialist Credential program were approved.

These programs will be available at the following universities:
California State University, Northridge (Northridge, CA) – CTEL
California State University, Long Beach (Long Beach, CA) – CTEL
Azusa Pacific University (Azusa, CA) – CTEL
Point Loma Nazarene University (San Diego, CA) – CTEL
California State University, Stanislaus (Turlock, CA) – CTEL
University of Redlands (Redlands, CA) – CTEL
San Diego State University (San Diego, CA) – Administrative Services Credential

University of Southern California (Los Angeles, CA) – Administrative Services Credential
Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of Religion (Los Angeles, CA) – Multiple Subject Credential
Loyola Marymount University (Los Angeles, CA) – Reading Specialist Credential

Each of these programs offers significant training for California educators. CTEL programs train teachers to meet the needs of California public school children who require specialized instruction in English language development. Administrative Services Credential programs are designed to prepare candidates for administrative responsibilities in a variety of educational settings and contexts. Programs for Reading Specialists focus on prevention and correction of reading disabilities at the earliest stages of students’ educational experiences; and, Multiple Subject Credential programs prepare teachers to provide instruction in self-contained, typically K – 6, classroom settings.

The Committee on Accreditation determined that these programs met all standards and preconditions and approved them for initial accreditation.
