What is a CTC Preliminary Single Subject Teaching Credential 2042 degree?

University of Redlands’ innovative Multiple and Single Subject programs, which prepare students to teach in an elementary school setting, feature student teaching, internships, and the use of theory to inform educationally just practices and create confident and competent teachers. These dynamic programs orient prospective teachers to a social justice view of the world.

All candidates leave the programs with a transformed view of teaching, knowing how to purposefully engage students of diverse backgrounds. Our graduating teachers are sought out by school districts across Southern California. 

Why this degree?

• During student teaching, students are supervised by a cooperating teacher at the school site and a University of Redlands supervisor.
• The School of Education also offers an 14-week supervised internship program to qualified candidates employed in traditional public-school settings.
• The use of educational technology is incorporated into all courses, field experiences, and California Teacher Performance Assessment (CalTPA) cycles, as are the theory and skills needed to effectively teach English learners and other diverse student populations enrolled in today’s classrooms.
• The programs are accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) and aligned with SB 2042 standards.
