In the past, all prospective candidate applications for the ECSE AA program were reviewed by the Program Coordinator to determine that the individual held an appropriate Education Specialist Credential or were enrolled in an Education Specialist Credential program and completed the program prior to completing the ECSE AA program.
Applicants who were concurrently completing an Education Specialist program were required to apply for their Preliminary Credential and show proof of Commission on Teacher Credentialing granting their preliminary credential to the Program Coordinator before submitting their documents to apply for the Added Authorization for Early Childhood Special Education.
