With TeachersCHOICE Teaching Certification Programs, you can easily find the approach, timetable and support that work for you.

  • Successfully complete all state-mandated exams and coursework, including a semester of student teaching
  • Earn credential and master’s degree and then enter the classroom with full salary and benefits

Standard Intern Program Los Angeles, San Diego &  San Francisco

This approach combines real-life teaching and the full complement of graduate coursework simultaneously; a blend of the two programs above.
