According to leading education platform EdSource, California has been experiencing a "booming demand for career technical teachers," leading to the state's massive push to train more qualified educators to supply this demand.
The Career Technical Education (CTE) Credential Program integrates core academic knowledge with previous technical and occupational experience. The program’s high-quality curriculum is designed to reflect the changing needs of modern workplace environments and prepare graduates to successfully compete in global industries.
This course covers foundational topics for the Career Technical Education professional, including historical and philosophical background to CTE, legal and ethical issues, and development of professional perspectives and growth.
Submit a Preliminary CTE evaluation request form and supporting documents to CSULB Credential Center. The form and detailed instructions are available at:
