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