Summary

Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to, among other duties, establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials, certificates, and permits. Existing law authorizes the commission to grant an added or supplementary authorization to a credentialholder who has met the requirements and standards of the commission for the added or supplementary authorization. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to convene a computer science strategic implementation advisory panel to develop recommendations for a computer science strategic implementation plan, including recommendations on broadening the pool of teachers to teach computer science. Existing law requires the panel, on or before January 15, 2019, to submit those recommendations to the Superintendent, the State Board of Education, and the Legislature. Existing law requires the Superintendent to develop and, if adopted by the state board, to submit to the Legislature a computer science strategic implementation plan on or before July 15, 2019. This bill would require the commission, upon the appropriation of funds for these purposes, to develop and implement the Computer Science Preparing Educators Grant Program to award competitive grants to postsecondary educational institutions for the development of preservice credential programs for individuals seeking a teaching credential, and the expansion of programs of study for single subject or multiple subject credentialed teachers seeking a supplementary authorization in computer science. The bill would authorize grant funds to be used for specified purposes and would require the commission to give priority to proposals for current commission-approved multiple subject credentialing programs and programs that fulfill the course requirements needed to obtain a supplementary authorization in computer science. The bill would require a grantee to provide certain information and data to the commission for at least 3 years after receiving a grant.
