Add a Credential
How to add an Art, Music, Dance, or Theatre Credential:
If you hold a valid Clear or Life Multiple or Single Subject Teaching Credential, you will need to:
- Meet the Subject Matter Requirement
- Take and pass all necessary CSET tests
- Show that you have met the requirement by earning a related Bachelor’s degree (will be determined by SCOE Director)
- Show that you have met the requirement using college coursework (will be determined by SCOE Director)
- Possess an English learner authorization (automatically included with any credential earned within California)
- Complete a three-semester-unit course in methodology directly related to teaching in a departmentalized setting in the specific content area sought (provided by SCOE)
- Complete CTC application and pay processing fee
* If you hold a Preliminary Multiple or Single Subject Teaching Credential that is not “cleared,” you will also need to show that you have met the U.S. Constitution requirement (this was met if you were granted a credential in California).
Once you have met the Subject Matter and EL requirements list above, you will begin the methodology class. The classes take place via ZOOM, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The sessions are held on six Saturdays, starting on February 8 and concluding on March 22.
At the completion of the course, you will receive transcripts that can be submitted to the CTC, along with the application and processing fee.
The cost of the program is $2,000.00.
