The Ryan Act, enacted in July, 1970, established regulations for credentials for all public school personnel. Programs that have been approved as of Fall, 1995, are included in this Bulletin. Further details about these programs and information regarding other more recently adopted regulations will be in the Credential Programs Bulletin published in 1996.
TYPES OF CREDENTIALS
The types of credentials provided for under the Ryan Act are:TEACHING CREDENTIALS
Multiple Subject Instruction
All candidates must be assessed for competence in the subject matter of the Liberal Studies subject matter program by faculty in that program prior to student teaching. It is important for all students to meet with the appropriate department major adviser regarding subject matter competency assessment before starting the credential program. In addition, candidates must demonstrate subject matter competence in multiple subject areas by passing the Commission-approved examination over the areas listed below. This examination is the Multiple Subjects Assessment for Teachers (MSAT). The examination must be passed prior to student teaching. The examination may be waived upon completion of a Commission-approved "diversified" or "liberal arts" degree program. On this campus, the Liberal Studies subject matter program has been approved as a waiver of the state examination. Such a program must include 85 semester units, equally distributed among the four areas listed below.
The university's Liberal Studies subject matter program was approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing as a waiver of the multiple subject examination in 1973. Candidates for the multiple subject credential are encouraged to enroll in this program. Special advisers for this program are available in the various schools of the university.
Students must pass the CBEST before enrolling in credential courses. A GPA of 3.0 or better, and no grade lower than a "C," is required in all courses comprising the Professional Teacher Education sequence and in courses that fulfill requirements for the professional clear credential. A grade of "CR" is acceptable only as mandated.

The CPR requirement can be met by completion of the American Heart Association: Level B or the American Red Cross: Community CPR course. CPR certification must be valid at the time the professional clear credential application is submitted. The computer education requirement is met by one of the following: EED 683, EDT 631, SPED 715, or SPED 716.
Students interested in applying for enrollment in the multiple subject teaching credential program should see the 1996 Credential Programs Bulletin for specific requirements. Other details regarding admissions (including early field experiences and certification of subject matter competence), academic requirements, and student teaching may also be found in the Credential Programs Bulletin. Students should attend scheduled information meetings and confer with their credential advisers regularly.
NOTE: As a result of recent revisions currently being implemented in the Multiple Subject Credential Program some course and/or unit changes in this credential program may become necessary.
To receive the BCLAD credential, candidates must pass the target language (Spanish or Cantonese) and culture tests administered each semester by the College of Education.
This program enables candidates to teach basic skills in all major areas of the K-12 curriculum to fluent and limited English proficient students in self-contained classrooms. The programs provide training in first and second language development, content instruction, and issues of culture and cultural diversity. In addition, BCLAD candidates receive training in theory, methods, and materials for primary language instruction (either Spanish or Cantonese) in all content areas.
Candidates must enroll in the appropriate (early childhood) emphasis sections of the professional education core requirement courses. These sections have a special emphasis on the early childhood years that provides extra preparation in theory, methods, and materials for children ages three to eight. As part of the course work, candidates are required to complete field work in a pre-school setting as well as elementary school.
This program enables candidates to teach in all grade levels allowed by the Multiple Subject Credential with additional emphasis on preschool through third grade. With an additional course in children and families, candidates can apply for a Children's Center Instructional Permit. Candidates may enroll in both the CLAD and ECE emphasis programs at the same time.
Art Mathematics
Candidates must demonstrate their competence in an approved single subject by conference with an approved subject area credential adviser and successful completion of a competency assessment administered by that approved subject area. All students must meet with the appropriate department major adviser regarding subject matter competency assessment before starting the credential program.
Other requirements for a preliminary credential are:
Program A--This program consists of one semester of observation-participation in public schools and one semester of full-time student teaching, each accompanied by a seminar in secondary education. Program A integrates theory with practice in the classroom and provides opportunities for students in the first semester to explore both junior and senior high school teaching in different community settings, and in the second semester to specialize in urban, suburban, or bilingual settings.
Program B--The Department of Secondary Education has developed an evening credential program for those working in the teaching field. All or part of the field-work requirement (student teaching) can be met through university supervision of the candidates' current teaching activities. Only currently employed teachers are eligible for this program. Please call the department office (338-1201) to request a copy of the Employed Teacher Single Subject Credential flyer.
NOTE: The maximum university course load is sixteen units for credential candidates. A GPA of 3.0 or better is required in the Professional Teacher Education sequence of courses, and a grade of C or better must be earned in every course attempted. This also includes courses that fulfill requirements for the professional clear credential. S ED 640/651 and S ED 652/660 must be taken concurrently and cannot be taken prior to admission to the credential program. If the (Major) 650 course is not offered during the semester, S ED 659 may be substituted upon advisement only.
