Credential Programs in Education

All Multiple Subject, Single Subject and Education Specialists credential candidates, in order to meet the No Child Left Behind guidelines, must prove subject matter competency in order to be considered "highly qualified" teachers. Single Subject candidates can meet the requirement through an academic major or coursework equivalent to an undergraduate academic major or a graduate degree in an academic area. Both Single Subject and Multiple Subject candidate can meet the subject matter competency requirements through taking and passing a rigorous state academic subject test (CSET or Praxis). Credential candidates must also complete an approved credential program in order to apply for a CA credential. Applicants seeking one or more of these teaching credentials must make formal application to the teacher credential program before beginning any coursework other than prerequisites.

*Students admitted to credential programs are not automatically admitted to graduate degree programs.

Candidates entering the Multiple Subject or Single Subject Credential program from another institution must take EDUU 510 and at Chapman University College and will be required to complete at least 12 semester credits of education coursework toward the Preliminary Credential in residence at Chapman University College prior to Directed Teaching.

Candidates entering the Level I Special Education Preliminary Credential program who do not hold a valid preliminary Multiple or Single Subject Credential must take EDUU 510 and at Chapman University College. All candidates entering this program are required to complete 12 units of their coursework plus Directed Teaching at Chapman University College.

Scholarship

The Education Division has scholarship requirements that supersede the Academic Policies of University College. For University College grading policies please refer to the Academic Policies and Procedures section in this catalog. A grade of "B-" or higher must be earned for EDUU 510. Candidates in all Education programs are expected to maintain "A" and "B" grades; a grade of "C+" or lower is considered unacceptable and may result in dismissal from a program. A candidate receiving a grade of "C+" or lower in a course is required for a preliminary credential will be placed on academic probation by the Dean of University College. The terms of probation require the student to retake the course when offered and earn a grade of "B-" or higher. The student's academic advisor will monitor the progress of the student during the probationary period.

Class Attendance

Education Division policy stipulates that a candidate who misses three class sessions in any course must either withdraw from the course or receive a failing grade.

Candidate Dismissal

A candidate may be dismissed from the program who:

1. Receives a grade of "C+" or below in more than one course.
2. Earns below a "B-" in EDUU 510 or a "No Pass" in Supported or Directed Teaching.
3. Receives a grade of "C-" or below in any class. In compliance with CCTC regulations, Chapman University College has an obligation to dismiss a candidate who is deemed unsuitable to be a teacher. Credential candidates must possess the personal qualities and characteristics that are deemed suitable for working with children, youth and adults in educational settings.

The institution reviews each candidate's competence throughout the program, informs candidates of their strengths and weaknesses, provides opportunities for corrective learning, places marginal candidates on probation and dismisses candidates who are determined to be unsuitable as professional educators. Candidates have the right to appeal a dismissal.

In accordance with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing Common Standard 6, Student Retention and Dismissal, which states, "A student may be dismissed from an Education program at any time if, in the professional judgement of the faculty, the candidate is deemed not well suited to a career as a classroom teacher."

Note: Candidates who have been convicted or have pleaded nolo contendere for any violation of the law, other than a minor traffic offense, may not be eligible for a California Teaching Credential.

DIRECTED TEACHING
Multiple Subject, Single Subject or Education Specialist

Applications for Directed Teaching must be filed with the fieldwork coordinator during the first week of the session preceding the session in which a student plans to begin student teaching (or by the deadline established at the campus of residence). Subject matter competency must be met prior to enrolling in Directed Teaching.

1. Directed Teaching consists of two sessions of full-day directed teaching at two different grade levels in at least one assignment that meets multicultural criteria. If the candidate is in one of the combined special education programs, one assignment must be in a special education setting. For special education only credentials, the candidate has only one session of full-day directed teaching assignment that meets the multicultural criteria.
2. Directed Teaching placements must be completed in public schools.
3. The program or fieldwork coordinator, not the student, at each location will make the Directed Teaching placements.
4. University personnel will supervise all student teachers.
5. Directed Teaching placements in special education classrooms are not acceptable for the Single Subject only or Multiple Subject only Credential. Summer school placements are not acceptable unless in year-round public schools.

Under certain conditions a candidate may petition to waive one session of Directed Teaching (a maximum of 3 credits for EDMU 582 or EDSU 592). Documented evidence must be provided that the candidate has completed one full year (175 days) of satisfactory teaching as a contracted full-time teacher prior to the commencement of Directed Teaching at Chapman University. This teaching experience must have been at an appropriate grade level and Single Subject candidates must have taught in the appropriate subject area. Neither substitute teaching, work as a teacher's aide, nor various specialist-type teaching experience qualifies for a waiver. An exception may be made in a situation in which a district hires a full-time permanent substitute assigned to a single classroom for a full year and the candidate is evaluated by the same procedures as a contract teacher. This permanent substitute assignment must have been completed prior to the commencement of Directed Teaching at Chapman University.

Supported Teaching

A Multiple or Single Subject candidate who is hired as a full-time teacher by a public school district (or WASC accredited private school) on an Emergency Permit prior to completion of all credential coursework must prove subject matter competency and immediately enroll in Supported Teaching (EDMU 580 or EDSU 590). A Chapman University College field supervisor will provide supervision and support on a regular and frequent basis. The credential candidate must take coursework while enrolled in Supported Teaching.

Multiple or Single Subject candidates who are teaching on an Emergency Permit may register for the remaining 6 credits of Directed Teaching (EDMU 583 or EDSU 593) after completing all but capstone course, completing a formal application for Directed Teaching, and providing proof of meeting subject matter competency requirements.

Candidate performance in Supported and/or Directed Teaching will be reflected with a grade of Pass or No Pass. A grade of Pass indicates that the candidate has demonstrated acceptable competency in meeting the required Teacher Performance Expectations (TPE) standards. A grade of No Pass indicates that the candidate has not met the TPE standards and must successfully complete additional Supported / Directed Teaching or may be dismissed from the program.

Special Education candidates who are teaching on an Emergency Permit may register for three credits of EDTU 590, Supported Teaching in the beginning of their credential program. Special Education Intern Credential candidates must register for EDTU 590, Supported Teaching (3 credits) during the first session that they are actively engaged in classroom teaching. In each case, the candidates will be required to complete three to six credits of Directed Teaching in their credential area (EDTU 592 Mild/Moderate or EDTU 593, Moderate/Severe) dependent on specific program option at the conclusion of their coursework.

Exit Interview

After successfully completing Directed Teaching, each candidate is interviewed by a committee of educators to determine that the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing competencies have been satisfactorily met. Upon satisfactory completion of the exit interview, all exams and Tasks 3 & 4 of the CTPA, the candidate may make application to the CCTC for his/her earned credential through the University's Credentials Office.

INTERNSHIP CREDENTIAL PROGRAMS
Multiple Subject, Single Subject or Education Specialist

Chapman University College offers California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) approved Internship Credential Programs in Multiple Subject, Single Subject and Education Specialist. The Internship Credential has the same legal status as the CCTC Preliminary Credential, except that it is only valid in one school district or consortium. For this reason, interns must have a contract before a credential can be issued. Each intern candidate must work under the direct and continuing supervision of a Chapman University Supervisor and District Support Provider (if appropriate) who provides general support at the classroom level of the cooperating school.

The intern assumes full teaching and legal responsibility for his/her classroom from the first day of the teaching assignment as a paid employee of the School District for at least one academic year. Interns register for 3 units of supported teaching upon entering the internship program and then register for additional units in each of their last sessions.

Admission Requirements

To be admitted to an Internship Program an applicant must provide the following:

1. Proof of a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution and a GPA that meets program requirements;
2. Passing CBEST scores;
3. Proof of meeting subject matter competency;
4. Proof of meeting U.S. Constitution requirements;
5. T.B. clearance;
6. Copy of Certificate of Clearance or Emergency Permit;
7. Letter from the approved school district that states beginning date of employment and grade(s) and subject(s) to be taught;
8. Completed Application for Internship Credential (41-IHE Application).

All Internship candidates must meet the requirements for the program as detailed in the Chapman University Internship Credential Program Handbook and develop an Individual Support Plan with their advisor at the beginning of the program. See a faculty advisor for compete details to this credential option.

Early Completion Internship Option

Under the provisions of S.B. 57, Internship candidates may choose to take the Teaching Foundations Examination as an Early Completion Internship Option to their desired credential. All persons wishing to pursue the Early Completion Internship Option through the Education Division at Chapman University College must enroll in and be accepted to the regular Internship Program in Multiple or Single Subject.

Candidates who meet the admission requirements for an Internship Program but have not taken the Teaching Foundations Examination must begin and/or continue to take prescribed coursework in the credential program in order to maintain the validity of the Internship Credential (a candidate can choose to take the Teaching Foundations Examination at beginning or anytime during Internship Program).

Candidates who meet the admission requirements for the Internship Program and pass the Teaching Foundations Examination, will be required to register for 3 units of Supported Teaching (EDMU 580, Multiple Subject or EDSU 590, Single Subject). Interns will be observed 4 times by a Chapman University Supervisor and evaluated on their ability to demonstrate mastery of the Teacher Performance Expectations (TPEs) during the 8-week Supported Teaching experience. Based on the outcome of this evaluative process, an intern may be required to take additional coursework needed to develop mastery of the TPEs and/or Student Teaching.

Once the intern has satisfactorily demonstrated mastery of the TPEs, he/she will be required to complete and pass "Task 4" of the Teacher Performance Assessments.

Upon successful completion of "Task 4" the candidate will become eligible for recommendation by University College to the California Commission for Teacher Credentialing for their credential. See a faculty advisor for compete details to this program option.

Special Education — Education Specialist Preliminary
Credential (Level I)

Chapman University College offers special education teaching credentials (Education Specialist) in two disability areas (Mild/Moderate or Moderate/Severe). A candidate may enroll in either a special education-only credential program or a "combined" special education and general education credential program. The special education-only program once completed authorizes the holder to teach in special education only. The combined credential program once completed authorizes the credential holder to teach in both special education and general education.

Applicants who choose to enroll in these credential programs have the option of completing the program in a "credential only" format or in a Master of Arts in Teaching/Special Education format (please see MAT Degree Programs for details).

Applicants seeking to earn only the Education Specialist credential have the option of completing their credential with CLAD certification. Applicants who choose not to complete the CLAD option must complete an additional session of student teaching (6 credits) plus either EDMU 520 or EDSU 530 to replace the 9 credits of the CLAD coursework. The Education Division strongly recommends that applicants elect to complete the CLAD certification option.

Please note: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing stipulates that all candidates who complete any Level I Special Education Preliminary Credential MUST also meet the Level II Professional Credential requirements within five years of obtaining their first special education teaching position following the completion of the Level I Preliminary Credential and have two years of service as a special education teacher after receipt of the Level I Credential. (Complete information on the Level II Professional Credential follows this Level I Preliminary Credential information section).

Residency Requirement

Candidates entering the Level I Preliminary Education Specialist Credential Program and who do not have a general education credential are required to take EDUU 510 and a minimum of 12 credits of coursework plus Directed Teaching at Chapman University College.

1. Pass the CBEST.
2. Complete the requirements for EDUU 395 Education Field Experience or a Waiver.
3. Demonstrate subject matter competency by completing the subject matter requirements for either the Multiple Subject or Single Subject program, depending on which combined program the student has chosen. For Special Education only programs the candidate may choose to meet either the Single Subject or Multiple Subject requirements. If the candidate already holds a California teaching credential no additional subject matter requirement is necessary unless stipulated by the CCTC.
4. Pass the RICA Examination prior to applying for the credential. Candidates who hold a valid California Multiple or Single Subject Credential are exempted from this requirement.
5. Participate in intake and exit interviews.
6. BCLAD Authorization: The BCLAD is an optional authorization for individuals who are proficient in a foreign language. The BCLAD authorizes teachers for all classroom settings in which there are English learners including alternative bilingual education classrooms. Candidates for this certificate must pass an authorized Language Proficiency Examination.
7. Candidates entering a combined credential program are responsible for ALL program requirements outlined within that specific general education program.

Recommended Program Sequence

Candidates may take only EDUU 395 and EDUU 510 and either EDUC 570 or EDUU 511 (if required) prior to passing the CBEST. If the candidate passes these courses with a grade of "B-" or higher, the remaining general education and special education courses may be completed.

Student Teaching - Special Education

Application for Supported or Directed Teaching must be filed with the fieldwork coordinator at the beginning of the session prior to the session in which a candidate plans to student teach (or by the deadline established by the campus of residence). The subject matter competency requirement must be met prior to enrolling in Directed Teaching.

Directed Teaching for the Education Specialist only consists of one session of full day directed teaching in a special education setting except for Option 3b, which requires two sessions of full day Directed Teaching. Candidates in a combined program must complete one session of full day directed teaching in a special education setting and a second session of full day directed teaching in the appropriate subject matter (Multiple or Single Subject) area. These assignments must meet the multicultural criteria established by the CCTC. Directed teaching placements in Special Education classrooms are not acceptable for Multiple or Single Subject only credentials.

Directed Teaching placement should be completed in public schools. The Fieldwork Coordinator at each campus will make the Directed Teaching placements. The student never makes placement, although his/her requests will be considered. University personnel will supervise all student teachers.

Exit Interview

After the successful completion of Directed Teaching requirements, each candidate is interviewed by the program committee of educators to determine that the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) competencies have been satisfactorily met. Upon satisfactory completion of the Exit Interview, the candidate may make application to the CCTC for his/her earned credential through the University's Credentials Office.

Special Education — Education Specialist Professional
Credential (Level II)

Induction into the Education Specialist Professional Credential Program (Level II) must occur no later than 120 days following initial employment on the Preliminary (Level I) Credential. The Level II Credential Program requires a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years to complete. The five-year time limit begins at the time that the Level I Preliminary Credential is issued by CCTC.

Candidates for the Level II Credential must be employed as a full-time teacher for two years after receipt of their Preliminary Level I credential in the disability area (Mild/Moderate or Moderate/Severe) authorized by their Level I credential. Teaching experiences accrued prior to completion of the Level I credential can not be counted toward the Level II Professional Credential. The teaching experience requirement for Level II begins when the candidate starts teaching under a Level I credential.

The Level II Professional Credential program consists of 15 credits of course work and the completion of the candidate's personal goals and objectives as outlined in the Professional Induction Plan and Expertise Plan. Both the Professional Induction Plan and Expertise Plan are developed in EDUU 688. This course must be successfully completed before any other Level II courses in the credential program can be taken. In EDUU 688, the capstone course for the program, students must demonstrate how they have successfully met the goals set out in their Professional Induction Plan and Expertise Plan. EDUU 688 may only be taken the second time when all of the other Level II Professional Credential Program courses have been satisfactorily completed.

NOTE: Education Specialist Credential Programs are offered at select University College campuses.
