CalStateTEACH teacher Induction Program
The CalStateTEACH Teacher Induction Program (CSTIP) is a cost-effective, job-embedded program preparing teachers to support diverse learners for California's future. The CSTIP is an online offering for employed teacher candidates and is a pathway to clear the preliminary teaching credential; the regional office is located at Fresno State University and is housed in the Kremen School of Education and Human Development (KSOEHD). Candidates who complete the preliminary credential program with CalStateTEACH often go on to matriculate into the CSTIP because of the familiarity with the coursework structure and with program faculty.
