Career Technical Education Program
The Tri-County Technical Education Program (TCCTE) aspires to create a collaborative learning community that is committed to the ongoing growth and retention of new and veteran teachers while promoting habits of equity and effective instruction.
The Sutter County Superintendent of Schools (SCSOS) Tri-County Career Technical Education Program is a two-year, state accredited CTE Teacher Educator Preparation Program. CTE candidates participate in educator preparation courses created specifically to meet the needs of new CTE teachers and are aligned to the CTE standards. Through the duration of this two-year program, CTE candidates are assigned veteran teachers as mentors to assist them with the realities of being a classroom teacher as well as coaching them through the ins and outs of teaching Career Technical Education courses. TCCTE is committed to supporting effective educators and lifelong learners as teachers for all students in California. Candidates will complete four growth plans documenting their learning based on the Teacher Performance Expectations (TPE) in year one, and the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) in year two.
The Preliminary or Clear Designated Subject CTE Credential authorizes the holder to teach in the subject(s) named on the credential in grades 12 and below and in classes organized primarily for adults, in career technical instruction courses.
