Program Design
The USU 2042 Multiple and Single Subject Credentials have been designed on the basis of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and the California Teacher Performance Expectations (TPEs). These are implemented through
- Prompt reflection about student learning and teaching practice
- Formulating professional goals to improve teaching practice
- Guiding, monitoring, and assessing the progress of a teacher’s practice toward professional goals and professionally accepted benchmarks
The USU 2042 Credential has been devised for the Educator of the 21st Century who must:
- Be well informed
- Master skills in writing
- Understand the core curriculum
- Understand the importance of reading
- Think critically
- Value honesty
- Respect diversity
- Be committed to social justice
- Be open to change
There are two versions of each of the programs, which means there are eight different versions in total. The version you are in depends on whether or not you entered the internship program from the beginning of your program or you transferred in, and whether you are a Multiple Subject or a Single Subject candidate.
