The Single Subject Preliminary Credential authorizes its holder to teach in departmentalized classes, usually in the middle or high school. Individuals wishing to teach only physical education, art, or music at either the elementary or secondary level are generally also required to hold a Single Subject Preliminary Credential, as well.
Candidates enrolled in the Student Teaching Option are not contracted teachers and are assigned to master teachers in a public school setting for their supervised student teaching field experiences. In addition, student teachers receive support and guidance from a university supervisor. In the Student Teaching Option, there are three phases. The program sequence in the Student Teaching Option allows candidates to complete their coursework and exit requirements in one year if they begin the program in the summer semester.
PHASE ONE (12-18 UNITS)
CSUDH LBS students with catalog rights beginning Fall 2016 are exempt from Phase I courses (for credential only). After being accepted to the program, proceed directly to Phase II.
