The Certificate of Completion of Staff Development (CCSD), also known as SB1292, is an English Learner authorization for teachers who hold California teaching credentials in Designated Subjects, Vocational, Career Technical Education, or Special Subjects Teaching Credentials or Service Credentials with a Special Class Authorization. Participants learn many strategies for assisting English Learners in the mastery of their content as well as increasing their students’ language and literacy skills, and the rationale for use of those strategies. Ongoing assessment will include development and submission of a portfolio that demonstrates individual classroom use of Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) methods. In accordance with SB1292 guidelines, there will be a final assessment essay at the conclusion of the course.
