This California Commission on Teacher Credentialing-approved program focuses on preparing teachers to address the state's diverse educational needs, with special attention to language acquisition, multicultural understanding, and student-centered learning methods. The degree incorporates hands-on experience through mandatory supervised fieldwork and classroom teaching practice integrated throughout the curriculum.
