Milpitas New Teacher Induction Accreditation

Credential Recommendations

After the candidate has submitted his/her work and passed that portion, all Year 2 and ECO candidates are required to take part in an exit interview. This interview is designed to demonstrate teacher competence and growth throughout the time spent in the program. Members of the Induction Advisory Committee are on the interview panel. The rubrics for the interview are in the appendix and the topics are as follows:

Describe a standards-based lesson you have taught
Explain how you structure learning opportunities and support that make the curriculum engaging, comprehensible, and challenging for special population students, including English Learners, students with disabilities, and those who will benefit from enrichment.

If a candidate disagrees with being asked to repeat a section prior to Year 2 or prior to the end-of program interview and recommendation for a Clear credential, the candidate may appeal the decision.

In order to appeal, the teacher must write a letter to the Director of Elementary Education stating that he/she wishes to appeal the specific decision.
Along with the written notice of appeal, the teacher must supply a copy of the document notifying the candidate of the Induction program decision and evidence the candidate wishes to supply in order to dispute the decision.
Once the director has the notice of appeal and the evidence from the candidate, the director will meet with the Induction TOSA and the Appeals Committee to set a date and time for a “hearing.”
The candidate will be notified of a “hearing” by both telephone and written notice This hearing is an opportunity for the candidate to verbally state his/her position, supply evidence, and bring a representative.
When a final determination has been made, the candidate will be notified in writing.
