What is a SUPPLEMENTARY AUTHORIZATION? How is it different than a SUBJECT MATTER AUTHORIZATION?
A supplementary authorization was used to enable one already holding a full single-subject credential to teach in an area other than his/her subject matter area. For example, a physics teacher wishing to also teach mathematics could complete this authorization to teach math as well. Important: This authorization is not NCLB (No Child Left Behind bill of Bush Government) compliant and since has been replaced by the introductory authorization. An Introductory Authorization is satisfied by completing 48 quarter units in a designated subject, and is typically spread across different areas within that subject. Students are recommended to talk to school districts and the CCTC before completing this authorization, as currently CSULA does not offer this authorization.
