Future Elementary Teachers

SAC students preparing to become elementary school teachers need to consider several factors in planning their coursework. These include – meeting university transfer requirements, satisfying general education and major preparation requirements, as well as preparing for the CSET and a credential program. The Center for Teacher Education recommends that you meet with a counselor early in your preparation and continually at least once a semester. 

Obtaining your bachelor's degree and meeting the requirements for the multiple subject credential program in an efficient manner takes careful planning. These planning tools can help streamline your education and prepare you for the credential program.
