Credentialing
The Palo Verde Unified School District is a California Public School District and is bound by regulations set by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.      
 
The major purpose of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing is to serve as a state standards board for educator preparation for the public schools of California, the licensing and credentialing of professional educators in the State, the enforcement of professional practices of educators, and the discipline of credential holders in the State of California.
 
All applicants for certificated positions must hold or be eligible for the appropriate California credential for the position being sought.  In addition, certain teaching positions will also fall under the California Department of Education’s – No Child Left Behind regulations.
To be considered for a certificated position, an applicant must have the following:
 
  • A Bachelor’s Degree from a fully accredited college or university.
  • Verification of passage of CBEST (if applicable).
  • A valid California teaching credential for the level and subject area of application.
  • Qualify as NCLB compliant for applicable positions.
For requirements on specific types of credentials, supplementary, and/or subject matter authorizations available through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing see the following links:
