Credentials: CLAD Emphasis

Multiple Subject Credential Program/CLAD Emphasis (Elementary)

The Multiple Subject Credential Program/CLAD is designed to prepare teachers to work with students in grades K-12 with responsibility for all subject areas in a self-contained classroom. Teachers holding a Multiple Subject Credential are most often assigned to preschool and elementary school classrooms.

This program has been specifically designed to prepare teachers for the diversity of languages often encountered in California public school classrooms. The California CLAD emphasis requirements are met through the infusion of content and experiences within the Multiple Subject Program, as well as additional coursework. Students successfully completing this program and the second language requirement receive the Multiple Subject Credential with the CLAD emphasis.

Full-Time CLAD Emphasis

A two-semester program, the Multiple Subject/CLAD Program provides coursework in learning and instruction, content area methodology correlated with field experiences and student teaching in conjunction with the CLAD content. The College of Education is specifically committed to providing students with opportunities to learn innovative teaching practices and put those methods to work with children.

The Part-time Multiple Subject Credential Program/CLAD is intended for those students who are unable to pursue a full-time program and/or are unable to attend courses during the day. The part-time program can be completed in two years. The curriculum is the same as the full-time program, except two courses are offered per semester and are taught in the evening. Fourth-semester students must be available during the day to complete full-time student teaching.

The Integrated Curriculum Option consists of six themed semesters of courses which are taken in both colleges.

The Integrated Bachelor of Arts and Multiple Subject/CLAD Emphasis Credential Program appears as Option 3 in the Liberal Studies major under the College of Arts and Sciences, see page 138.) See the College of Education and College of Arts and Sciences advising staff for further information including admissions criteria and procedures, and semester by semester curriculum.

Multiple SubjectInternship/CLAD Emphasis Credential Program

The Multiple Subject Internship Credential Program is a field-based, collaborative program with various San Diego and Riverside County school districts. It is designed to provide opportunity for teacher diversity to reflect the student population of San Diego and Riverside counties, and for those who hold a bachelor’s degree, to make a career change to teaching. Its goal is to prepare effective, professional classroom teachers. The program requires completion of thirty-three (33) units. Candidates will be able to continue their current, full-time employment during the first portion of the Internship Program. Upon successful completion of required coursework, candidates will become full-time paid intern teachers with full responsibility for a classroom in a San Diego or Riverside County school district. Candidates will continue to take coursework during intern teaching.

Admission Requirements

All admission requirements are the same as for the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with the following exceptions:

CBEST. CBEST examination must be passed before intern teaching.
Subject Matter Preparation Assessment for Teachers (MSAT). Intern candidates must pass the MSAT before beginning intern teaching or have completed a minimum of 4/5 of a state-approved subject matter preparation program (such as Liberal Studies at Cal State San Marcos).
U.S. Constitution. Knowledge of the U.S. Constitution demonstrated by completion of a two-semester unit college-level course or college-level examination. The constitution requirement must be completed before intern teaching.
Personal Interview. Intern candidates complete personal interviews conducted by a team with representatives from the college faculty, school district personnel from participating districts, the County Office of Education, and community representatives.
Bachelor’s Degree. Bachelor’s degree required before intern teaching.
Eighty (80) hour “shadowing” experience at school site.

Please Note: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requires passing the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA) for the initial issuance of a Multiple Subject Credential. RICA consists of passing one of two components, either a comprehensive examination or a performance assessment. The Assessment cannot be taken until completion of the Language Literacy course in the credential program.

The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing adopted a new technology standard requiring credential candidates to demonstrate their effective use of technology at a basic level prior to issuance of a preliminary credential. The new technology standard will apply to all students credentialed after July 1, 2002. At a minimum, it is advisable to complete EDUC 500 if you plan to complete the Cal State San Marcos credential program after July 1, 2002.

Multiple Subject Credential Program/CLAD Emphasis (Middle Level)

Middle level teacher education students enroll in a program designed to prepare them to teach students in grades five through nine. Upon completion of the program, second language requirement, and two subject matter competencies, students receive a Multiple Subject Credential, a Middle Level Emphasis and a CLAD Emphasis. In the two-semester curriculum, students take courses on teaching and learning in middle schools, content area methods, and ultilingual/multicultural education. Coursework is taught by a team of instructors, with class sessions and assignments geared to the particular needs of middle school teachers and learners. The teaching team is assisted by educators from North County middle schools who share their expertise and experiences at the middle level.

North County middle schools serve as sites for field experiences. When possible, students work with teams of master teachers. Supervision of the students is a shared responsibility of a University faculty advisor (a teaching team member assigned to one school) and an on-site supervisor at the middle school (a full-time teacher at each school). The on-site supervisor meets regularly with the students and observes and evaluates the students when they teach. Periodically, the University faculty advisors meet with the supervisors and master teachers in order to coordinate activities in the University and the field.

Admission Requirements

All admission requirements are the same as for the Multiple Subject Credential Program, with the following exceptions:

Subject Matter Competency in Two Areas. Students must demonstrate subject matter competency in at least two different content areas; for example, science and mathematics (not biology and chemistry). Students may demonstrate subject matter competency by:

fulfilling the requirement for supplementary authorization by completion of a total of twenty (20) units or ten (10) upper-division units, or
or completing an approved subject matter program in a specific single subject field, or
passing the appropriate Praxis and SSAT subject area assessments**

Please note: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requires passing the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA) for the initial issuance of a Multiple Subject Credential. RICA consists of passing one of two components, either a comprehensive examination or a performance assessment. The assessment cannot be taken until completion of the Language Literacy course in the credential program.

Single Subject Credential Program/CLAD Emphasis (Secondary)

Single subject (high school) teacher education candidates enroll in a program designed to prepare them to teach students in grades nine through twelve. Upon completion of the program, candidates receive a Single Subject Credential with a CLAD Emphasis. In the two-semester curriculum, candidates take courses in teaching and learning in high schools, discipline and interdiscipline specific methods, and multilingual/multicultural education. Coursework is taught by a team of instructors, with class sessions and assignments geared to the particular needs of high school teachers and learners. The teaching team consists of faculty from both the Colleges of Education and Arts and Sciences assisted by educators from North County high schools who share expertise and experiences and model exemplary practices for high schools.

North County high schools serve as sites for field experiences. Supervision of the student teachers is a shared responsibility of a University faculty advisor and an on-site supervisor (a full-time teacher at the high school level). Two different opportunities constitute the field experience — one at the ninth/tenth grade level, and one at the eleventh/twelve-grade level. Within these experiences, there will be opportunities to practice-teach a variety of subjects to diverse student populations with varying ability levels. In addition, student teachers will be encouraged to participate in school faculty activities outside of the classroom in order to gain both experience and expertise in the organization and decision making characteristic of the high school culture.

In order to better serve the needs of students from diverse language and cultural backgrounds often encountered in classrooms, the California CLAD requirements are met through the infusion of content and experience – not only through the specific courses, but also during the student teaching experience.

Admission Requirements

All admission requirements are the same as for the Multiple Subject Credential Program with the following exception of requirement #3:

Subject Matter Preparation Students may satisfy Subject Matter Preparation in two ways:

Complete a California state-approved subject matter preparation program, or
Students who have not completed a state-approved subject matter preparation program must pass the appropriate Praxis II Specialty Area/Subject Assessment Constructed Response Examination and SSAT Multiple Choice

Please contact the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Coordinator for information regarding approved Cal State San Marcos subject matter preparation programs.

Cal State San Marcos will also accept students who have completed a state-approved subject matter preparation program from other colleges or universities. Examination* prior to admission to the Single Subject Credential Program.

It is strongly recommended that prospective students have a second area of strength in an additional subject area such as a supplementary authorization (teaching minor). Please contact the College of Education’s Student Services Center for a list of subjects and an evaluation.

Students in the Single Subject Credential Program are exempt from taking the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA).

Level II Preparation is required for all initial Level I credential holders. Please refer to page 203.
