Today,\u00a0 HTH is a coalition of 16 charter schools with a focus on project-based learning as a vehicle for equity in education.\u00a0 The High Tech High Teacher Center supports new teachers and new leaders at our 16 schools and throughout San Diego County.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Timeline<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>In 2003:<\/strong> California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) regulation change enabled charter schools, with local education agency (LEA) status, to operate their own credentialing programs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>In 2004:<\/strong> CTC approves HTH to offer a Preliminary Single Subject teacher preparation program.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>In 2007:<\/strong> CTC approves HTH to offer a Clear (Gen Ed) Induction program.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>In 2008:<\/strong> High Tech High began accepting partner school (non-HTH) teachers into Intern and Induction programs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>In 2009:<\/strong> CTC approves HTH to offer a Preliminary Multiple Subjects teacher preparation program.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>In 2011:<\/strong> CTC approves HTH to offer two programs:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\">Education Specialist, Mild\/Moderate teacher preparation program<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\">Education Specialist Clear Induction program<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>In 2017:<\/strong> CTC consolidates General Ed and Education Specialist Induction to one program: Teacher Induction.
