20 Commission on Teacher Credentialing Ensuring Educator Excellence 20 SB 52   Career Technical Education   Commission agenda item was presented at the November meeting   One of the recommendations references a new CTE/EL standard

21 Commission on Teacher Credentialing Ensuring Educator Excellence 21 SB 52 Recommendation 5. Require training for all CTE teachers in how to teach English learners. Rationale: All teachers of English learner students must have appropriate English learner training (EC 44001, 44253.1, 448300(a)). Teaching English learners was addressed minimally in the current Career Technical Education program standards under the topic of “special populations.” However, this type of teacher preparation should be increased and improved by updating the manner in which it is defined in the program and encouraging programs to integrate it throughout CTE teacher preparation. The revised program standards would address the knowledge and skills a teacher must have to work with English learners.
