title: "Teacher credentialing: teaching performance assessment: workgroup."
description: "Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to, among other duties, establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials. Existing law requires, as a minimum requirement for a preliminary multiple subject, single subject, or education specialist teaching credential, the satisfactory completion of a program of professional preparation that includes a teaching performance assessment that meets specified requirements and has been approved by the commission, as provided. Existing law requires a program of professional preparation to include a teaching performance assessment that is aligned with the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and that is congruent with state content and performance standards for pupils adopted by the State Board of Education. Existing law requires the commission, subject to the availability of funds in the annual Budget Act, to perform specified duties with respect to the performance assessment. Existing law also requires the performance assessment results to be reported so that they may serve as one basis for a recommendation by the program sponsor that the commission award a teaching credential to a candidate who has successfully met the performance assessment standards. Existing law also requires the commission, by July 1, 2025, to ensure that an approved teaching performance assessment for a preliminary multiple subject credential and for a preliminary education specialist credential assesses all candidates for competence in instruction in literacy, including, but not limited to, evidence-based methods of teaching foundational reading skills, as provided."

# California SB 1263 (20232024) — Teacher credentialing: teaching performance assessment: workgroup.
Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to, among other duties, establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials. Existing law requires, as a minimum requirement for a preliminary multiple subject, single subject, or education specialist teaching credential, the satisfactory completion of a program of professional preparation that includes a teaching performance assessment that meets specified requirements and has been approved by the commission, as provided. Existing law requires a program of professional preparation to include a teaching performance assessment that is aligned with the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and that is congruent with state content and performance standards for pupils adopted by the State Board of Education. Existing law requires the commission, subject to the availability of funds in the annual Budget Act, to perform specified duties with respect to the performance assessment. Existing law also requires the performance assessment results to be reported so that they may serve as one basis for a recommendation by the program sponsor that the commission award a teaching credential to a candidate who has successfully met the performance assessment standards. Existing law also requires the commission, by July 1, 2025, to ensure that an approved teaching performance assessment for a preliminary multiple subject credential and for a preliminary education specialist credential assesses all candidates for competence in instruction in literacy, including, but not limited to, evidence-based methods of teaching foundational reading skills, as provided.
