The Bridge program allows a teacher with an existing CA Education Specialist credential to “bridge” over and earn their Multiple Subjects credential. Teachers that qualify for this one-year program must be teaching in a K-8 classroom setting.
For teachers holding an existing Education Specialist Credential and three years teaching experience. The HTH District Intern Bridge program is a one-year commitment with weekly class meetings on Tuesdays and or Wednesdays, 4:45 – 7:45 pm.
The Multiple Subject credential, K-8, authorizes teaching in public school settings where the teacher teaches all subjects to one group of students in a self-contained classroom. This type of classroom structure is found in elementary schools and is used in core block subjects in some middle schools as well. The HTH District Intern Program uses the CalTPA (Teaching Performance Assessment) to measure a candidate’s knowledge, skills and abilities. CalTPA preparation and assignments are embedded within coursework and CalTPA cycle #1 and #2 must be completed by March 2021.
