Credentialing
To become a teacher in California, a candidate must earn a bachelor’s degree and a teaching credential. A California credential is required to teach in California public schools. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) sets teacher preparation standards, approves teacher preparation programs, and grants various types of teaching credentials as well as other credentials and related documents.
