The pedagogy course must align with the specific content area sought. A non-specific or genericsecondary methods course is not acceptable. Pedagogy Chart The Commission on Teacher Credentialing has prepared a chart to assist individuals, colleges, universities and employers in locating institutions that offer standalone courses an individual can complete to satisfy the pedagogy requirement when adding an authorization to a credential or obtaining a new credential type under the provisions of California Code of Regulations, Title 5 §80499.Click Here to find the pedagogy course chart. Commission-approved program sponsors may grant equivalency for coursework completed at theirinstitutionfor candidates seeking to meet the pedagogy requirement to avoid any potential redundancy in satisfying this requirement as long as the institution has the appropriate teacher preparation program for the credential type or content area sought. For verification of equivalency, educators must submit with their application and transcripts an original, signed letter on the institution’s letterhead indicating that the coursework completed meets the subject specific pedagogy requirement. A letter from an institution of higher education must be signed by the director of teacher education. C L - 621A 4/2017 Page 6 of 9 ceptions Individuals holding a Single Subject Credential seeking to add a new subject that falls within the same broadcontent area would not need to complete additional pedagogy coursework. Applicants adding the followingcontent areas need not complete additional pedagogy coursework to meet this requirement: adding Science content area to an existing Science credential (includes Foundational-Level General Science); upgrading a Foundational-Level Mathematics credential to the full Mathematics content area; or adding a World Language (WL)/LOTE (Language other than English) content area, other thanEnglish Language Development (ELD), to an existing WL/LOTE credential in any content areaother than ELD The following are examples of exception #3: Holder of a Single Subject Credential in WL: ELD adding a new WL/LOTE area such as Spanish or French must complete a WL/LOTE pedagogy course. The course may be in any LOTE area other than ELD due to the specialized preparation and pedagogy required for WL: ELD. Holder of a Single Subject Credential in French seeks to add Mandarin—it is not necessary to complete a Mandarin pedagogy course. This educator has already met the WL/LOTE pedagogy requirement. See PSA 14-01 Subject Specific Pedagogyfor additional information. Holder of a Single Subject Credential in any content area except WL/LOTE seeking to add a WL/LOTE content area must take a WL/LOTE pedagogy course. However, the course can be completed at an institution approved to offer any WL/LOTE single subject program even though the pedagogy course is not focused on a specific language. For example, a Single Subject Credential holder in Social Studies seeking to add Mandarin as a new single subject content area may complete a WL/LOTE pedagogy course at an institution approved to offer any WL/LOTE single subject program and the course need not be focused on Mandarin. While Commission-approved program sponsors may grant equivalency by verifying that coursework completed at their institution fulfills the pedagogy requirement, regulations do not allow program sponsors to grant equivalency for anything other than coursework, including teaching experience. The completion of a minimum of three semester units or four quarter units of pedagogy coursework directly related to the credential type or content area sought must be completed in all cases and verified with the submission of official transcripts. Letter of Clarification At times the course title shown on a transcript or the course description of a pedagogy course may not clearly identify that the course content meets the subject specific pedagogy requirement. In such a case, the applicant may ask theuniversity to provide a letter of clarification (not equivalency) on the university letterhead signed by a person authorized from the credentials office verifying that the course includes the subject specific content area pedagogy as set out in Title 5 section 80499. The original letter must be included with the application.
