Teacher Credentialing Partnership Project

Untitled design-18.png
Session in Progress

Historically, education was reserved for the wealthy and privileged to ensure power stayed with the elite. However, times have changed and change has been created by people from all walks of life. The thread weaving the change-makers together?

EDUCATION

The NorCal Teach Up pilot project supports the planning activities to create distance-learning opportunities at the community colleges through teacher credentialing programs in our partnership area. This program specifically addresses the needs of rural communities by offering clearly defined pathways for completion for teachers currently holding a Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP) or a Provisional Internship Permit (PIP). Collectively, we serve and partner with over 130 TK-12 Districts and 14 County Offices of Education in the following counties: Butte, Colusa, Glen, Humboldt, Lake, Lassen, Modoc, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo, and Yuba.
