New Adult Education Teaching Credential Program


Requiring teachers to hold credentials ensures a high level of expertise and

In response to this need, Santa Clara Unified School District, in collaboration with

Evergreen Community College, announces a FREE Adult Education Credentialing

Program. Santa Clara Adult Education will support teacher candidates

through the application process for their preliminary and clear credentials,

while Evergreen Community College will offer the required coursework.
