Added Authorization

Cal State East Bay offers the CTC-approved Reading and Literacy Added Authorization (RLAA). The RLAA authorizes the holder to assess student reading and provide reading instruction in response to those assessments. RLAA holders are also authorized to develop, implement, and adapt the reading content curriculum and assist classroom teachers in these areas. Those applying for the RLAA must possess a basic credential with an English Learner Authorization (e.g., Single Subject, Multiple Subject, or Special Education credentials), successfully complete 14 units of required coursework, and provide verification of three years of successful, full-time teaching experience. The RLAA coursework may be taken prior to completion of three years of teaching and the candidate may apply once the third year of teaching is completed.

The Teacher Education Department offers the authorized courses to allow candidates to add additional authorizations. CTC Regulations: leaflet CL-621a / Guidebook
