Early Completer Option


Persons who pass the teaching foundations exam, secure an offer of employment from a sponsoring school district and who successfully meet intern program prerequisites are eligible for admission into an early completion internship. Candidates who successfully demonstrate competence on all performance assessment and who complete all other credentialing requirements are eligible to be recommended by a program for a five year preliminary teaching credential. Candidates pursing a Preliminary Multiple Subject credential must also pass the reading instruction competency assessment (RICA).
