The Preliminary Multiple Subject Credential is designed for individuals who wish to be TK-6th grade (i.e. Elementary) licensed teachers in the state of California. Committed to social justice, inclusiveness, and leadership, our Elementary Teacher Preparation Program will offer you in-depth coursework that leads to a California Preliminary Multiple Subject teaching credential.

This program is approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) under SB 2042 standards. Our program’s coursework, grounded in the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP), emphasizes a cycle of planning, teaching, and reflecting that provides credential candidates with an ever-deepening understanding of how to provide all students with rigorous academic learning. The program prepares teachers who are committed to working with various student populations in urban settings and empowers them to make the best possible choices for their students.

Our Elementary Teacher Preparation program offers an enhanced credential/master’s program with a focus on preparing the general education teacher to respond to the needs of all learners through an innovative program that infuses CCTC education specialist standards into the general education curriculum. This program offers advanced training that will support your ability to effectively teach all students in your classroom, particularly those with special needs.

Theory and practice are also infused throughout the courses, which is carefully constructed to build one upon the other. All professional preparation courses include early fieldwork in exemplary teachers’ classrooms in Mount Saint Mary’s University associated schools. During early fieldwork experiences and supervised teaching, you work with various student populations to develop effective teaching skills and strategies. You will learn how to provide equal learning opportunities for children learning English and for children with special learning needs. In-service candidates complete some early fieldwork in their own classrooms and some with master teachers in collaborating schools.

*The Preliminary and Induction Teacher Preparation Programs meet the standards for and have been approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC), leading to a California Preliminary or Clear Teaching Credential.  Students who wish to practice in a state other than California will have additional licensing requirements to complete prior to practicing in a state outside of California. Mount Saint Mary鈥檚 University is in the process of researching program professional licensure standards in other states.  Contact the Education department at educationdepartment@msmu.edu to discuss additional requirements that may be needed to obtain a teaching credential in a state outside of California.
