Workforce Needs�Pre-3 Credential
CTC is working with communities of interest and educational partners to collaboratively update and retool the existing ECE Specialist Credential.
The updated PK3 ECE Specialist Credential is intended to allow the holder to teach in preschool through third grade as called for in the Master Plan for Early Learning and Care.
Workforce Needs�Pre-3 Credential
It is expected to provide pathways for three types of teachers:
The Commission appointed a broadly representative work group with ECE and Multiple subject teachers, employers, 2 and 4 year faculty in child development and teacher education and others to advise
Commission staff have circulated three surveys to the field in order to obtain feedback on the teaching performance expectations, preparation program standards, and potential requirements for this credential.
Workforce Needs�Pre-3 Credential
The timeline for completing this work is estimated as follows:

Expanded Learning Workforce Expansion: A challenge and an opportunity……

What is expanded learning and why does it’s expansion matter?
Expanded Learning refers to before and after school, summer, and intersession learning experiences that develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students. Expanded Learning opportunities should be hands-on, engaging, student- centered, results-driven, involve community partners, and complement learning activities in the regular school day/year.
Expanded Learning
Expanded Learning: �A rich infrastructure
Expanded Learning: �A vehicle for Equity
No Longer Optional: Why and How Expanded Learning Partnerships are Essential to Achieving Equity in School Reopening and Recovery (PCY, August 2020)
CA Expanded Learning Funding Streams FY 21-22
CA Expanded Learning Funding Streams FY 22-23 (PROPOSED)
What do we know about the expanded learning workforce?
30,000
people work in expanded learning in CA
Source: “back-of-the-napkin” math multiplying 4,500 program sites x 6 staff per site (Pre-pandemic)
but is it actually closer to…
60,000
including “invisible” workforce made up of employees of private providers, other youth development programs, etc.
some estimates put the number closer to
200,000
at full ELO-P implementation
Calling All Youth-Serving Professionals and Volunteers!
Millions of professionals and volunteers work with young people every day in many settings where youth play, learn, and grow outside of the school day. Yet, we have little collective information about this essential workforce.
The Power of Us Workforce Survey seeks to know and understand this collective workforce.
We believe that if we know more, we can do more!

Partnerships between systems
�Local Partnerships �These partnerships should include local educational agencies (TK-12, Community Colleges, CSU’s), expanded learning programs, and teacher preparation programs.� �State Systems Partnerships �State systems partners should include the Commission for Teaching Credentialing, California Department of Education (including the Expanded Learning Division), CSU Chancellor’s Office. Additional state partners may include the Community College Chancellor’s Office, the University of California Office of the President, and state workforce development partners such as the California Department of Industrial Relations.
