Emma wanted choose Fortune School of Education as their pathway turning a California teaching credential for us I said it before and you're going to hear me say it throughout this whole entire presentation we are a practical roadmap that basically means that you're earning while you're serving in the classroom and learning at the same time we have Partnerships with 55 school districts across Northern California are pernicious and solid we've already shared the meaning of you are coming to us because of those Partnerships and we do have a pay-as-you-go model and say you're going to graduate with your teacher credential debt free and I don't know about you but that free sounds so good to me so it stays you go and the cost is is manageable we have. visors and on-site mentors who are available to you which we call our triangle is support so you are supported by a supervisor who is going to come out and I'm checking with you to see how you're doing today to give you that feedback and one on one attention that you may need and someone you could always contact and rely on who's who has the teaching credential who taught for a long time who can give you their expertise in addition to that our partnership is a part of our memorandum of understanding with the school districts and charter schools that we have partnership with they give you or assign you to a excitement or and that is another teacher a lot of the times is somebody that's teaching in your same subject area or very close to it who has been teaching for a long time who is there that you can help you know refer to and I'm used as a mentor to help you through your path we utilize a system called populi if you visited our website you may have already encountered populi if not that's okay is our learning management system and is pretty user-friendly it'll be your first entry point or or relationship-building of populi would be 3 or online and probably does offer online support so if there's any issues are hiccups you'll have support there pre-service is a 170 our rigorous boot camp something that is designed to get you ready for teaching in the classroom so is kind of like your prerequisite to get into that classroom is all of the foundational elements that you may need in order to do your job as a teacher you don't go over lesson planning you'll go over classroom management and all kinds of chips and and I'll course where Dad is is nest sorry to get you started so that's what pre-service is our pre-service is launching this winter we offer it twice in a year starting January 10th 2022 when are the winter pre-service kickball we also have a spring and summer fall pre-service as well you're welcome to type in at any of those pre-service opportunity if you come in and January you'll be there 470 hours now the benefits of starting pre-service early is that you'll be going through pre-service right around time when school districts are actually looking to fill their early they can see so you're kind of already have like a ahead in our head up above other District interns who program may start later there is a little bit of a gap so when you start pre-service in January after you're done with your 170 hours there's a little bit of a break which is kind of nice because it affords you the time you get all your subject matter competency exams or you know ways in which you made meatballs requirements in order so they're not weigh when it's time for you to start teacher credential program you're able to just move in with that smoothly in October which is when the district intern program will begin offer two ways of earning your teaching credential at 4 to school so 1 is our to your path which is that pre-service pipeline that pre-service pathway we offer single subject multiple subject and education specialist for mild and moderate credentials only for single subject we offer everything except for art so we offer English now World languages social studies PE and that will allow you to teach 6 through 12 grade multiple subject you can teach transition kindergarten through eighth-grade with a multiple subject credential and then education specialist you're able to teach mild moderate disabilities or learning differences only specific la palabra one year pass that one is a little bit more rigorous and terms of the requirements to get there pre-service is not a part of that chocolate but there are exams and things like that that will talk about in a moment that you'll need to take in order to qualify or to become eligible to meet their criteria for early completion option early completion option model a standalone individualized packed so you're not coming into class even in October and I'm coming into class or doing any specific course work but you are welcome to attend seminars and prepped for some of the caltpa and Rica and other exams that are required we offer. Valley completion option for pretty much every every subject area with the exception of our and with the exception of so you can be you know English when was our mathematics science to earn your early completion option early completion the one-year program in addition to that we offer a school leadership program and this is a one-year intensive leadership program if you guys were here earlier you may have Eric Eric is interested in administrative Services Program this is for informational purposes there are you know you definitely need to have a clear credential in order to move into the school leadership program but this is just to let you know what our programs are so impatient we are receiving applications online and I'm really excited about that because you know we this is our first time doing online application so yay Fortune school but you definitely will submit your application online and I see your question in the chest Valley so give me a moment and I'll show you before I go to application running give allow you to give voice to early completion option would you like to go ahead and come on to question I'm sure I was just wondering a little bit more about early completion cuz you said you don't go into the classes and it's a little more individualized so does that mean you're kind of doing work on your own but not attending physical class so like things are assigned to you and you do them on your own time or how does that work yeah good question still early completion option is independent study basically and when I travel to the next ride you'll learn why so you are any person who desires to go through early completion option is already laminated themselves as somebody who is capable and who doesn't need to have a lot of you know on fighter in class coursework assistant and the way that that that that is determined is by meeting eligibility criteria like through the couch CPA exams and demonstrating your competency so you are always welcome to come in and even encouraged so let's say you desire to go through the early completion option but you also think that come in a pre-service and getting a foundational boot camp is Sunday that would be beneficial to you you're welcome to come to pre-service and do that so you don't even do the pre-service if you enter the early completion option that's correct yep is not is not required you heard me. I'm actually going to go into that I see a lot of things going on in a chat and I will I'll go to that and II know I have a question on the same question 3 service program and intern that's a different part on the credential for 2 years that's a different but that's what you're telling me essentially to Pathways to earning your credential and Donna is going to be determined on whether you meet the criteria for that pathway one which is pretty much an hour since of a word are traditional pathway that is a two-year program the pathway that is more rigorous and intense is the road completion option which is a one year program and let them step recipes for both the things we need to complete the pre-service thank you for clarifying so please do this is definitely required anyone who is going in the district intern pre-service pathway that's definitely required that's because he you may not meet the requirements for a completion option so you're going to go every service and also because you know yourself and you may be the type of person is like I need to you know kind of class I need to have this support that's a free service option for people who need all of them requirement that I I'm about to share they have the option to come to pre-service and also on their credential in one year give me one second before you ask another question and I'm going to share this and I might answer the question and I also see question hang tight so the application deadline is on November 19th the application fee is $100 in order to submit your app application in for to be considered complete you'll need to provide a copy of your resume updated one you don't have to have any education experience wanted as in terms of teaching but if you do that's fine 3 professional recommendation excuse me a personal statement official transcripts with your degree posted we are also for the purpose of uploading ever into the application you would post an unofficial transcript and then you'll provide your official so that way it's killed unless you have one of those State electronic transcripts you must need basic requirements through one of three options and I'm going to go there real quick so there's three options to me basic skills requirement I really option one this is our website Fortune School of ed.org and I'm under the apply segment so how can one is passing the CBEST exam having a score sheet that says that you passed that often too and I'm in a lot of everybody encourage you all to visit the website and to review this information on your home I'm giving you high-level touchpoint option two is to have qualifying course work with a grade B- or higher from an accredited institution of higher education and then there's some other on parameters around that an option three is to satisfy the requirement through the ace sat or act exam and then that information is available. on the website as well as follows you also need to meet your US Constitution combination or proof of passing a if you attended a California State University is CSU only not a you see but if you attended a CSU then you will not need to take are US Constitution exam if you attended a private school or you see or School anywhere Across the Nation are out of the country you will need to take the US Constitution exam and a link to that exam are actually on the website oops sorry getting crazy over here you also need to have a certificate of clearance Commission on teacher credentialing with no convictions no do you I know nothing like literally a clean bill no conviction any applicants who have convinced conviction you are definitely encouraged to apply and to write a statement about it and it would be reviewed for consideration all right so I see a couple of questions in the chat I think Jason has a question Doug has a question and Tasha has a question so I'm going to go ahead and give you all opportunity to give voice to your question and the order in which you posted it in the chat adding Jason I think you're up first with my question on the phone for the professional recommendations is there a template or we just have a letter written from from those professionals good question so when you submit your application online you'll type your recommenders email into the application form and it'll go to them they'll receive a form they're not ask to write a letter the receiver form graph to complete the form and send the form back and it's all electronic Ezekiel and the other thing that I was about to take out with so if I procured my degree from the University of Houston because it's not in the state of California I was so we'll need to get that take that exam for the US Constitution exam you will need to take anyone when unless you intended to see issue or you taking a course that made me the requirement if you visit the CCC website they will have additional information about courses that may meet the requirement if you feel like you have a cord that meets the requirement when you how much are unofficial transcript you want to go ahead and highlight that course information in your unofficial transcript and then you also want to contact the admissions department and let them know that they are high add a Discord and then that way they can have on the credential analyst determine if that course meets the requirement but do your own homework first by visiting the CCC website to see if you have something that means through because I think in Texas the US Constitution is a requirement that needs to be mad as well okay yes thank you yeah you're welcome OK Google was there I saw Dead next in the Trap with a good afternoon good evening everybody angel that the school offers for thank you so much. Thank you so much to you are actually in the information session for the teacher credential but that's okay cuz you were alone we had another person you're in administrative Services credential I will give you back your time you can come over here and then what what we'll do is we'll have someone reach out to you on schedule time for the administrative Services credential informational okay thank you so much sweetheart thank you so much have a wonderful evening all right I'm Tasha your next step is a question so we're currently on why we are all navigating this pandemic online whether or not we remain online needs to be determined or seen or whatever based on what's happening in the in the world I asked because it would be convenient if its online to my work schedule and I've already worked something out with my employer where I can get away from work a little bit early so that I can be available online for those hours that's why I asked that and I'm another question I had I see that you said that the application is online now when you have to upload things I've already received my two out of three of my professional recommendations and they handed them to me in a sealed envelope so would it be preferred that I submitted to you guys still arson option let me find out the answer to a question do you have yes let me get the answers to that and then I'll I'll let you know so I'll get answers questions that I need to get answers to and then I'll respond as soon as I get the dancer we just launched the online application and so I think will be a preference would be but however since you already have two I think that that that I'm going to stay softly that I think that that that will be okay and then maybe your third one you might be able to do online but yeah I'm going to say a soft yes but don't quote me and I will get the answer for you that you can quote me on okay. You're welcome Okay so Jason says there is a deadline 1015 okay so disregard anything that you have that is circulating about 10:15 I'm not sure where that deadline came from the application deadline is November 19th what is the application deadline why is the application deadline for the January 10th 2022 winter pre-service or early complete option and I think that same time frame okay going on for the early inflation option I promise I will share information about it there are few people who seem to be curious about learning more about the early completion option so I'll go ahead and go over this in order to become a candidate to the early completion option pathway you must have the early completion option exam if your multiple subject you need to take the assessment of Professional Knowledge for elementary if you are single subject you will need to take that single-subject assessment of Professional Knowledge secondary exam so you only take one or the other depending on where you want to earn your Yorkie but you need to take that exam in pass it so that when you apply your submitting your score I see your Hammer he's let me go ahead to your question Bradford so this was a question for the last slide be a cont the Constitution test do we have to pass that before we apply or is it is Thursday like Ashley apply typically we want everything that is required for the application to be considered complete and review done I'm so it is but if you are able to take the exam and profit in order for the application to be complete incomplete applications are not going to be considered you can work on your application online get your profile started and all of that while you're getting things together but incomplete applications will not be considered so I would say the answer is yes that you'll need to have it done by November 19th but I'm going to just say that I hear I've never taken the exam I went to a c s u but I will say that the that I hear all the time that they them is pretty easy I don't know it depends on test taking skills okay thank you for that question all right if you also need to pass your cset exam obtain of subject matter of a letter of sending their competency and there's one more area so there's three options were becoming subject-matter competent one is like Sally teaches friends is Sally has a bachelor's degree in chemistry and she wants to teach chemistry then there are ways for her to meet the requirement that way as well when when she can get a subject matter of subject-matter Competency letter within also she can identify that she's subject matter competent through coursework if she's not able to get that letter from an institution so there's three options to becoming subject-matter competent was he said I see your hand wanna go ahead so who will provide the subject-matter competency letter that would be provided by the institution that you graduated from with your bachelor's degree typically you contact the registrar's office and let them know that you need a subject matter, since the letter and then they will provide the letter can also in order to be considered for the early completion option you must complete the couch CPA instructional cycle one you have to complete got a whole learning about students in planning instruction in order and it has to be done and submitted to caltpa by the time you submit your application then you would be interviewed and if you are accepted into the program you will need to fix your a full-time job one of our participating School District Partners we have 65 in Northern California seal need to be teaching with one of our partner school districts are charter school systems and you must be teaching at least percent of the time in the subject that you want to teach so for example if you want to teach chemistry but there is a job you know have Dave teaching chemistry have they doing art you need to at least have a minimum of 50% of your time dedicated to the subject that you intend to teach and become the teacher record up and down your credential and I mean I have a question go ahead yeah I have one more question regarding the same thing in my case I completed my degree in India so how do they know that how they'll provide the baguette. will you guys accept me if I get it from there a certificate what was specifically talking competency letter yes if they provide if that institution provide subject-matter competency letters then yes thank you and your welcome so that is early completion option actively serving I seen Tasha let me go ahead and get your get your car and talk before I go ahead into the eligibility for district and turn go ahead Tasha you just stated that the competency you know letter from the school is that the same thing I need to get so that I don't have to take the CBEST test if I took the courses already is that the same thing no it's actually different so that's a very good question so let me call go back to the website for seven more, Tennessee better is is a different type of letter that schools will provide that let institutions know that you meet the requirements to teach and that's a pretty standard in Normal you can just ask for it just was that California course weren't there is different you're not really getting a letter your identifying for the qualifying course work on that you believed me through fireman okay and that's for the two-year intern program right regardless of what program you need to take those 9 steps that I talked about on the bike ride a bike commuter and why your program okay. For Ecco is the additional examinations that need to be taken and passed before you submit your application okay so for the two-year program Deco has completed to no that's for the early completion yeah I got it nevermind I got confused so early completion option is a one-year pathway in order to apply to the one-year pack Ray you need to meet the nine of steps that I went over on the apply screen plus the additional eligibility criteria on this slide here which are those exams that is why they're only completion option is such a rigorous program because I'm the front door you are required to prove your ability to teach and own that classroom and that is another reason why pre-service is optional and one of the main reasons why independent study program but you are able to you still get the support in terms of the onside mentor and the field supervisor where you're not required to come to the class because the person who are these eligibility criteria are they pretty much got it in the bag and there's not that much need for support however I have recruited and known completion option program completed who to go to The pre-service Bootcamp just to get that foundational base refresher just to shore them up for the job in the fall so you again always welcome to come to free service if you decide on that pathway however you are absolutely required to attend Tree Service in Portage advance to the district intern program as a candidate in the district intern program and the way that you do that is by successfully completing your pre-service program with a b or higher you are proving that your subject matter competent I'm by either taking the scene said exam having a subject matter, the letter or having coursework 1 degree in a subject matter you are receiving positive faculty feedback and recommendation from the boot camp variance and you participated in silver Lake's periods during pre service so those are all of the criteria plus you your hat you'll have to have a job offer for teaching at least 50% of your time in the subject area that you intend to earn your credential and Tasha okay immigration participating on-field experience is that what does that consist of the question so I encourage everyone to spend some time on our website is Fortune School of ed.org when you come to the website it'll look like this if you click on learn more it'll take you to academic programs and this is where you get like a breakdown of all of the course subject and everything that you need for academic programs including free service and in this is basically at a scope of what that what the course sequence look like for pre-service for each subject area for single subject multiple subject and education specialist and you can kind of like you know visit here to get an idea of what the I look like usually filled experience Braxton's look like I'm going into a classroom and observing you know how class what what does the design look like in Allentown what is the lesson plan look like what house was the classroom management style so that's pretty much with a practicum experiences and that's another reason why I went to free services I think might be an optimal choice for a lot of people because sometimes people I mean you know later on in the in the years I'm getting a pack of practicum experience on a level might be challenging if schools are not in service are in session yes Sally my first question is just for the timeline is the regular to your pathway the pre-service + 2 hours of course work or is it is pre-service included in that 2 years so it's pre-service and then a year of coursework so keep in mind pre-service is one 170 hours so that's not a year if you know if you think about your work schedule most people work a hundred and sixty hours a month so you can kind of get a hard-on pre-service mayor made you know how many how much time until span overtime pre-service is in addition to it could be considered an addition to the two new year experience pre-service doesn't after a year is 170 hours plus year one and year two as a district intern okay and then at my other question was at any point during the normal pathway say you Finn pretty servicing you're just in the normal to your pathway could you if you took those exams for early completion could you opt into early completion so early completion you meet the eligibility criteria when you submit your application on November 19th . Point Blank if you don't then and you know that you're not able to or you're not going to meet it can go ahead and submit your application and it's going to be a pre-service application a lot of the times people are eager to jump into the classroom and own it and I'm so excited for everybody who wants to do that there is a level of rigor that comes with the early completion option is not you know a fly-by-night type of breed is intense and that's why it's a test from the very beginning with the the examinations in all of the eligibility requirements so I was saying I just think about what your pathway May might be but for the most part you're looking on a two-year pathway and most of the people who go through our program are to your pathway cuz honestly just not that many people meet the eligibility requirement all right did I miss anybody questions did I miss anything going on in the chat yes I was sharing the website to Fortune school of education so you can get there in two ways one by visiting Fortune School ed.org and I can drop the link in the chat for you or you could visit purchase school by us and click on graduate school to get there yes I see your hand I have my both no question actually in the pre-service program one of the thing like the third one is passing a happy birthday I'm doing a city or a city or the one more option is like a verdigre think right or more so I completed in India and I have converted to US standard and that is equivalent to 4 year science graduate do I need to evaluate subject voice to God or doctor Evolution agenda level okay so let me I want to separate two things for you guys just to make sure for clarity sake one is and I appreciate your question when is you need to be read the basic skills requirement and that is through seba coursework or a mix of CVS in coursework one makes us the best course course working sat act to that's just the basic skills requirement the other one is subject-matter competency when you submit your application for pre-service you're not required the subject matter competent at the point of submitting your pre-service application however if you are thinking about meeting the requirements of eligibility for early completion option you do need to see the subject matter, too so just to clarify that for everybody okay and then as far as your how you meet your subject-matter competency you can do that through your degree through coursework and taking those seats that exam or having a subject matter competency letter from the institution okay no I understand. My question is not regarding the subject matter competency letter my question is regarding the basic skill test I don't know. and the fever standard I didn't do it here so I didn't do my situation here so I didn't compute sat or act only I have is my for your graduation degree with me so will that work you will need to take the sea bass you don't have any of the other option so often one two and three if you have the the evidence for those option then you can submit them and you do not then that means that it pushes back to take an exam okay that is one out of three option one is third degree thing right so my question is will my degree so that position or not. yes I do appreciate your question and I'm going to encourage you to go to the website at Fortune School of ed.org and check out the options I took it and I have all the package with me hold on to your question and because your question is now is getting on granular and so let us have that conversation together okay all right did I see any other questions about any the other supplies that I went through before I go on all right perfect so the the tuition structure we offer a very competitive structure Ashley is what we consider unaffordable pathway in comparison to some of our competitors pre-service again is 170 hours is Monday through Friday from 1:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. the tuition is $1,500 the payment structure is if you want to accept it you'll pay a $500 registration fee and then there are two electronic funds transfer payments of $500 after that or you can pay all at once all of her when it comes to this idea of installment you can pay it in installments over 3 or you can pay it all at once and it's all out of pocket and the reason why specifically say out-of-pocket is because is not deducted from your payroll check as some of the other programs are once you get into the candidacy single cell credential multiple subject credential in education specialist call two year programs and intuition is sick $2,300 over 2 years so the total cost will be $12,600 you're able to those payments and installment the first payment is what we consider to be out of pocket is not being deducted from your payroll check and that's going to be the registration fee in the amount of $700 and then your payments will be $700 per month for 9 months per year and those payments are deducted from your payroll checks early completion option is a little bit different early completion option is a one-year program and a Casas 6000 $100 for one year your first installment is out-of-pocket $173.75 but after that for eight months in the year you will be deducted from your payroll 87375 per month and that is a pay-as-you-go model so it's an Electronics funds transfer the Dust from your payroll so I paid for the tuition which when you were here earlier I said our model is that you graduate debt-free and that's how you graduate debt-free okay any questions about the tuition alright stand 9 other question that I can answer for you all I apologize I got dark the lights there likes him off his went off yes Sally I had attended info Zoom a while ago for the summer one and I had asked when courses actually start for the two-year program after pre-service the other turn program that looked at her every Saturday and I wanted to know if these are in the middle of the week or kind of what is the structure of classes once they start a very nice boys question our structure typically a hybrid model once classes start candidates in a district intern program they come to class one night a week and they're here for typically about 4 hours after school in the evening so similar to like the pre-service a schedule so after school and then there is an element of things are happening in the learning management system which is populi and there may be some seminars and practicums are things like that that could happen on the weekend but yesterday is pretty manageable again this is a practical pathway so being that is practical there is some on-site things like you know when we are able to conduct these classes are by there will be some on-site time but his boys long as we are continue to mandated to be in a virtual reality world we will be virtual be a zoom where the learning management system okay so for the most part it's look like instruction once a week for a couple hours and we'll week with maybe an occasional Saturday seminar but it's not every Saturday and Bagley if not every Saturday and the classes are once a week and it's a Philly for about 4 hours and evening are hybrid yes the district intern program is harder because there's a lot of things that you're doing like you know design work for classroom management a lot of these things are happening in real time on the job okay okay if there is it okay all right I see something in the chat thank you so much for attending any other questions the previous life Monday through Friday 4:30 to 9:30 is that every day for those pre-service hours or yes and it's all online and right right now ever when is online however if we go back to being in person You Know by Mandy then we will be in person but for now everything is online or following the guideline for the you know the guy lines and the governing board which is he PC and then also California Department of Health I came late I forgot this instead of 5:00 so I apologize but quick question as you related to that online versus in the classroom are you saying that we're going to start off online but it can actually change it we can is there an option for the state online the whole program so if when we get over this covid thing you saying we have to go classes online the line I think I'm in Sacramento and someplace else I can't remember the other option in Sacramento at our Sacramento campus and flatter Bay Area campus and aryzta Bakery campus in Concord is not far from Walnut Creek vegetation program is authorized for in-person learning so we will if we are called to come back in and require to do that then we will be back to in-person learning yes and that will shift and change and we are at the you know the mercy of the decision-makers that are above us that from last time yeah sorry I thought another question the Dupree Services I if I remember from last time it's eight weeks right or 7 weeks or something yeah it's probably about seven to eight weeks for pre-service 170 our boot camp okay and we'll Camp are you on Zoom the entire 4:30 to 9:30 or do you kind of you meet for an hour you break out you do some independent work and then you meet back up or are you like in lecture for the whole time it really just depends on what the instructor has going on in that for that course so I don't I don't know the specific answer depends on just like when you know where in college you go to the course it depends on the instructor would they have designed if you do not have any additional questions feel free to jump off I really appreciate you being here and I appreciate you sharing and asking questions if you have additional questions that you like that I am available to answer them as much as I can if I owe you any question answer responses like Tasha about the paper references I will communicate with you or via email to any questions that I owe you answers on I want to double-check that for that 170 hours it's from Monday to Friday 4:30 to 9:30 the classes will be for the next two wheels it's going to be weekly once on some project kind of thing on weekends. So it works right and the classes are typically from 5 to 9 during the to become a district intern but rest assured that after pre-service and you're ready to move into district and turn candidacy all of these things will be they will go over it with you again okay sounds good on the only one question that the highest place for the basic skills questions that are three options other one is a city and a city. are big real thing so my question is if I completed. I agree with the those I'm interested in math so I have completed some of the mat in my 4 year college degree beat that be like yeah let me just read it right now so qualifying course we're with a grade of B minus a tire taking out a regionally accredited institution of higher education per academic red toward an associate's degree back there at or higher degree so regionally regionally accredited institution is the area that we need to clarify Regional usually means you know Regional here in the United States your studies were abroad so I'm I am pretty confident in saying that you are going to need to take the CBEST exam because your school doesn't meet the regional accreditation requirement did I answer your question yes any other question all right well so I am singing I do about time to speak to me I am filling in for for the recruitment team so you you really won't have access to me which is why I am I haven't shared any of my information we do have members of the recruitment team that you do have access to and there's a person by the name of Ron McGee and Leslie Rosario one of one or two of those people would would be your contact points if you have additional questions that you like to ask I would encourage you to send an email with your questions and send that email to and I'll put it in the chat but where's my chat box sorry you can email recruitment Orchard School.

Jay Matter competency letter needs to come on the institution that you confirmed your bachelor's degree and any other is sorry have qualify my coursework were degree and the subject matter area so identifying qualifying course word or have a degree in that area I am just trying to add that here cuz I noticed that it wasn't on that's why okay okay you need to be subject matter competent and and that's a that's a horse of the cset yes yes these are or someone actually I'm cleaning this of right now as we speak in real time these are all or statements either either you have the C or you have a sensing that a competency letter or you have qualifying coursework AOC where is that found where we deliver on those are online and we have linked to we do have links to those on our website so when you go the EOC page on the website you'll see COC you'll see the exam hyperlinks right here on the website have you ever clicked on those I haven't done in a while not too clear that's out of my control I will have no but I'm so yeah okay let's see what else do I need to go over with you all right I'm cleaning this this up a little bit all right I'm the other thing is that you'll need to have the couch PA and you'll have to pass that caltpa on the first try so complete the caltpa instructional cycle 1 learning about students in planning instruction Inez Deposit on the first try hey did you take that is that difficult I am not a teacher but I have I have had an opportunity to look at a cow CPA before and it's a pretty thick packet is short answer give me is all short answer and if you're basically demonstrating your knowledge and of how to teach to the Common Core Curriculum and the California state standards okay okay and then the interview with acceptance you're like all other position all other what are your 1-year ecl or you're going through the two-year program everyone is invited to an interview and isn't usually a group interview and then after the interviews you'll get it you know you'll get your notification whether you were accepted into the program or not okay and then you have to have a find teaching contract with one of our participating school districts and we have 65 School District Partners in Northern California did I keep hearing that I'm getting different information I was talking to a teacher today I'm actually working at Mount Diablo but I didn't I didn't see Matthew Apple School District on the list but when I talked to one of the teachers they went through Fortune I guess you had a previous how do I list is all we know keep it up to date on our website we did have a relationship with Mount Diablo Unified School District actually there was a time where Mount Diablo Unified School District was are authorizing agency but now we are authorized directly by CTC and so we no longer have that relationship with Mount Diablo Unified School District so it will be best to get at a job OB doctor on just go ahead and secure a job in a school district that we already have a partnership with because partner of ours the ham was and now it's not something I usually do on your own however we do offer support as much as we are able to for example we have a relationship with our partners in our partners old contact us because it's a part of our mou and I'll say hey I'm looking for 8 Mile Rangers at Oakland USD I'm can you help me find somebody a pre-service a district intern to fill that position so we do get those requests and as we get them we share them with our with our our our students where would I see that list or how would I why would be something that would be shared with you once you're once you're in the pre-service boot camp program then as those requests come for example the dean or whoever is the Navigator of partnership relations their share that with all of our students okay I'm in always a mess. Question is that's where I'm at right now I'm trying to decide which programs the best I really like this program a lot of like what you offer I like the students I've seen a lot of great things about it but it's like I don't want to my concern is I don't want to get the program is not that I can't get a district job and Clarity help me a lot with the outlaw okay now I know how much is the map of teachers so which group conversation with somebody to give me a hint of the viability of getting into a program that's okay into the school district that's local grade Grade 4.3.4 9 GPA my magic real substitute opportunity I've ever thought I'd come with a referral come back as I'm talking to each one of you separate is no Unity so I can't figure out how to get an internship with that one does that make sense I think I get I think I get what you're saying one is yes in order for you if you desire to go through for school of education as a pathway to earn a year teaching credential you will need to leave Mount Diablo Unified School District and work at a school district that we have a partnership with real partners with 65 School District that includes charter schools across Northern California in the Bay Area we have a lot of good partners so you would you would need to find a job with one of those partners as far as other programs and you know what which program is the best I would have you what I will say about our art teacher credential program is not only is it a fordable pathway but is also small and intimate and a lot of people thrive in an environment and you know you know me when you come to class when we were here at night when you live in the Bay Area but there could be times where you see the people that you're you know talking to like walking the hallways and things what is taxable where therefore you are system of support is strong and we want to make sure there are people are set up for Success one of the things that I love about our school is that people who learn the credential with us stay there don't they have longevity in education that lasts beyond the preliminary credential it goes into you know establishing their clear credential and they become superintendent of schools and principals all these other things so there's a lot of longevity there we've been doing this since 1989 and 1/2 minute out that work so I think that when you're thinking of like what what what what can work for you not only when it comes to like the school district partnership but you may also want to think about what your core values are and how those core values align with the core values cool that you're considering to make the best decision everybody I've talked to last night so I know what you're saying is a lot of truth because I see that I'm still stuck on the one thing about like my fear is just like I said to go to the longtime Sun position I have right now goes through the end of the year for sure I've got a just change the government law where you should be a 30-day credential now 38 became a 6 I was in make it longer so I'm going to be free to choose another school that I have to but boys I got a good job right now I got it it's phenomenal students talk to find out like what's districts are you calling what's the street that you guys have a relationship with that may have an opening how to navigate this is my second career I have a 40-year career investment management and pretty much more than 20 years with six years so I've done the whole night but now I don't want to do any much how do I exist must get to the pre-programmed people calling you guys who's opening up sooner than later I question one you know you like the profile of our student base is typically a person who's a game-changer they're changing their career they wanted to teach for a long time and you know is not that many that look like you know other people who were like Sally and there was another young man named Doug who is in the temple session tonight so just got out of college move to the people look like you so I say that to say that you know that. Maybe something that aligns with another you know value of yours and turns of like I hear what you're asking me I know what you want you want me to stay strong get ugly you will be calling me and banging on the door and saying hey I need if I need that I need that I know what it is you want and I will say with confidence that it is true that we do have our partners who are contacting us there is Partners who have level than engagement based on your areas and me and I can't end a real no way for me to determine who needs what in what year until they say hey Sean. I'm looking for 20 people are I'm feeling 154 vacancies right now and they look like this terrible disease that end with IC I heard you say you were doing math I can do math 1 math is by course course go sorry to say that I know for certain that people are always looking for math you know what I mean by that is like it is especially in the Bay Area is a game-changer like people they need Math teachers you know I don't have the answer I can't give you what you want even though I I may have information but it is seasonal and it just depends on what do I season it looks like now that I was beat you though is you know I'm I realize and appreciate the fact that you are Mount Diablo Unified School District you already have a relationship there what I always think first people to do in to get on our website look at our partners and explore you know that it out see who's hiring what website has warm what was high and an applied for those jobs you know what I mean and and you may find a good experience in one of those one of those places as well and your precept program how many of them are getting hired after they is the preset program or already hired when they started I mean I do have access to that data point I know before the test and I was gone for a year on maternity leave but I do know that but I think you are rate of a successful you know pre-service completers to job was somewhere around 83 I 85% that I'll make you know that I'll take me to account you know who was you know who was subject matter comes in who met all the requirements now the level of rigor that happened a few years ago is not necessary the level of rigor now that the governor and the CTC I made adjustments to basic skills requirements in subject matter, to see requirements to make changes app website on when you go to the ER on our website when you visit our website if you click on a plow guy out of the refrigerator and it'll give you like additional requirements for meeting a basic skills on this week play something yeah so there's a lot of changes it's getting really dark in my room Hit The Lights but I do do you I think that yeah I do that a lot of it is going to be do you know on YouTube I mean is always going to be on you to figure out what works best for you my personality is lovely Mimi dedicated people to but you know there's a lot of opportunities out there for you so I wish you all the best and I hope to see that you will cry thank you so much for coming to this information session tonight is there the night time lights I have to go put them in a red button yourself thank you so much wonderful night thank you
