BTSA
California Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) was Established in 1992 and based on a four-year pilot project. The BTSA Program provides opportunities for fully-prepared first and second year teachers to expand and deepen their teaching knowledge and skill. BTSA also provides a smooth transition into the complex responsibilities of teaching, increases the retention of beginning teachers, and improves learning opportunities for their K-12 students.
For more information contact Kathy Hansen, Program Specialist, Beginning Teacher Support Assessment Program (BTSA), (661) 636-4366 or email: kahansen@kern.org.

Internship Program
Internship programs allow individuals to complete their teacher preparation coursework concurrent with their first year or two in a paid teaching position. These programs are led by colleges, universities and by school districts. To qualify for an internship program, an individual must have passed the CBEST, met the subject matter competence requirement, and obtained character and identification clearance. The program provides teacher preparation coursework and an organized system of support from college and district faculty. Completion of an internship program results in the same credential as is earned through a traditional teacher preparation program. More than 12,000 teachers have received their teaching credentials through internship programs. For the 2002-2003 school year 79 internship programs have pledged to prepare an additional 8,400 teachers.
Information can be obtained on the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing web site, or by contacting Tania Schalburg-Dykes, Kern County Program Specialist - Intern and Paraprofessional Programs, (661) 636-4367, email: taschalburg@kern.org.
