Frequently Asked Questions

 

Candidates that are currently in the Multiple Subject Credential Program that have met all of the above BILA requirements at the time of student teaching application, may be placed for Student Teaching in a bilingual setting. Candidates in the UTEACH BILA pathway must meet all of the BILA requirements listed above prior to applying for the methods/student teaching portion of the program.

At this time we do not offer student teaching in a bilingual setting for the Single Subject, Education Specialist and Urban Dual Credential Programs however, candidates can still obtain the bilingual authorization upon completion of all program requirements including student teaching and BILA requirements listed above. 

Candidates that already hold a valid California Teaching Credential with an English Learner Authorization do not need to student teach again. Once they have met all of the above BILA requirements, they can visit the Credential Center in EED-42 for assistance in applying for the Bilingual Authorization with the CTC.
