Who is eligible for Teacher Induction? How do I enroll in Teacher Induction?

1) Teacher candidates must hold a preliminary credential, both General Education (MS or SS) or Education Specialists Credentials.

Note: If you hold any other credentials such as Intern Credential, Clear Credential, or permits such as Short-Term Staff Permit, etc. the El Rancho District also offers enrollment in the Peer Support Program.
