Beginning teachers who have not earned their Preliminary Credential and are teaching under a temporary credential are considered Pre-Credential Teachers (PCT). They are teachers who hold a Provisional Internship Permit, (PIP), Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP), or a University Internship Credential. Teachers under these credentials must receive at least one hour per week of mentoring support. They must also explain to the hiring district how they plan to complete the preliminary requirements and do so each year they have a temporary credential.

 

Madera Unified assigns each Pre-Credential Teacher a Teacher Support Mentor (TSM). TSMs meet with their beginning teachers 3 to 4 hours per week to plan, receive coaching, get feedback, and other supports as necessary.
