Course Description

Credit Validation for Escondido Union (Elementary) School District Teachers Only

The New EUSD Teacher Support is a structured yet flexible system consisting of a series of assessment forums that focus teachers to use a "plan, teach, reflect, apply" process and blends teaching knowledge with performance. It is designed for credentialed first and second year teachers with the assistance of trained and experienced educators. The process is grounded in a developmental view of teaching and integrates the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and the K-12 state adopted academic content standards for students.

ÑÇÖÞÌìÌø£Àû – Graduate-Level Extension Credit Information

The ÑÇÖÞÌìÌø£Àû partners with this program to offer graduate-level extension credit(s) in semester hours through the Credit Validation Program. To earn units, participants must register for and successfully complete coursework through the external program provider.

Credits earned through USD’s Credit Validation Program are widely accepted by many school districts and universities across the United States for purposes such as license renewal, required professional development hours, short-term skill building, salary advancement, credentialing, and potential advanced degree pathways.

These units do not apply toward a master’s or higher degree program at the ÑÇÖÞÌìÌø£Àû; however, they may be transferable to advanced degree programs (e.g., MA, EdD, PhD) at other institutions that accept external graduate-level credits.

Participants are responsible for confirming acceptance, transcript requirements, deadlines, and applicability of units with their employing district or intended institution prior to enrollment.
