Yes, EC Section 56366.1(n) requires all teachers in nonpublic schools to meet the same credentialing requirements as those for public school teachers. This statement means that NPS special education teachers need to hold a valid California special education credential or a valid CCTC Education Specialist Internship Credential for no more than three years. A temporary certificate, Provisional Internship Permit, Short-Term Staff Permit, Emergency Permit, or credential waiver does not fulfill the requirement.
