That makes the California State University's Educator Preparation Programs especially crucial right now; the CSU prepares a large percentage of the state's preschool through 12th-grade (P-12) teachers, awarding about 6,500 teaching credentials in California annually.
"The CSU's preparation of high-quality teachers is of enormous value to California, its communities, and its families," says Marquita Grenot-Scheyer, Ph.D., CSU assistant vice chancellor for Teacher Education & Public School Programs at the Chancellor's Office, in Long Beach.
A key strength for the CSU is making a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degree in education more accessible to more Californians; many campuses also offer the chance to earn your teaching credential at the same time you're getting your degree. A variety of scholarships and other types of financial aid are offered, too, for teachers-in-training, allowing students to find the program that's the right fit for them.
