Back to Multiple Subject Credential
Introduction
Multiple
Subject Teaching Credential:
The Multiple Subject Teaching Credential authorizes its holder to teach
in a "self-contained" classroom in which several subjects are
taught by the same teacher to the same group of students. Most elementary
schools are organized around self-contained classrooms. The Multiple Subject
Teaching Credential is also an authorization to teach in middle school
"core programs" and, with relevant supplementary authorizations,
in subject oriented departments: e.g., math or science.
San José State University currently offers two different Multiple
Subject Teaching Credentials:
Multiple Subject Teaching Credential is designed for those who will teach in culturally and linguistically
diverse settings in English. In addition to standard foundations, methods
and field-based practicum courses, preparation for this credential includes
the study of language acquisition, culture, bilingual education, and instructional
strategies for second language learners.
Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with a Spanish Bilingual CLAD Emphasis
is designed for those who intend to teach in culturally and linguistically
diverse settings in which both Spanish and English are the languages of
instruction. Preparation for this credential includes study of the same
topics as for the Multiple Subject Credential as well as substantial proficiency
in Spanish because teacher candidates take coursework in Spanish and teach
elementary school students in Spanish.
