Roadmap to Educational Careers

The Commission’s Roadmap Project was established by the 2022-23 State Budget Education Trailer Bill
with the goal of helping to guide teacher credential candidates and explain pathways for
individuals interested in a career in education.

The Education Career Counselors have helped develop new resources and webpages that are now available on the Commission’s website via
the Roadmap to Teaching link on the homepage.

CDE Universal PreKindergarten (UPK) Toolkit

The new UPK Curriculum Evaluation and Implementation Toolkit offers a practical,
step-by-step way for California programs to review, select, and strengthen curriculum aligned
with the Preschool/Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations.

Testimonial:

“…I was searching high and low around the internet for suitable videos to use for observation assignments
when I happen to stumble across a FaceBook page called California Teacher Preparation…
I learned about teacherprepprogram.org, a website devoted to helping future teachers and
professors of Education courses. I met amazing, energetic people who let me know I was not alone in facing the challenges of
fieldwork observations during a time when schools were closed to visitors.
Many people have spoken about how bad things have gone in 2020,
but this is one thing that went right for me, and I am very grateful for it.”

– Douglas Hughey

“Thank you very much for sharing this with everyone!

The CoP group have been a heaven-sent group for me and many others.”
