Welcome!

SMBSD TIP is a two year induction program accredited from the state intended to ease new teachers’ transition into the profession, accelerate teacher effectiveness and enhance teacher retention. We will offer general education and special education teachers who hold a Preliminary Multiple Subject, Preliminary Single Subject, or Preliminary Education Specialist Credentials the opportunity to fulfill the requirements for the California Clear Credential. An Early Completion Option is available for experienced and exceptional candidates. Beginning in their first year of teaching, our new teachers receive job-embedded mentoring support while they develop and enact individualized learning plans to support their growth related to the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP), within the context of their teaching position.
