What is a certificated teacher?
A certificated teacher is any teacher holding an authorization issued by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) that permits the individual to legally provide instructional services. The CTC issues a variety of authorizations. These include the multiple and single subject credentials, university and district internship credentials, eminence credential, sojourn credential, emergency permits, and waivers. Waivers for CSR teachers are limited to individuals who have completed a teacher preparation program in California or hold a credential from another state or another country, but are unable to meet all credential requirements.
