How do I qualify for the Reach Intern Teacher Credential Program’s Early Completion Option?

Participating teachers who pass the Teacher Foundations Exam, along with meeting all of the other eligibility requirements of the program, are eligible to complete the Reach Intern Program in one year. The Early Completion Option will waive some coursework and require participating teachers to complete other coursework and the Teacher Performance Assessments through individualized study.

The Early Completion Option is recommended for participating teachers who have prior experience (in private schools, as a paraprofessional, or as a substitute, for example). Additionally, candidates must be able to complete the regular program requirements, and work independently to complete the requirements for year two in a single year.
