Special Features
Credential Program Teams: All credential candidates become part of designated teams, each consisting of approximately 35 members. The team stays together for the full credential program, providing support and identity.
Field-Centered Credential Programs
Much of the program is conducted in public school settings. Student teaching/paid teaching occurs for three quarters, thereby integrating credential classes with real-life teaching experiences. Student teachers will be assigned to teaching experiences with children/young adults of racial, ethnic, or cultural backgrounds different from themselves.
The College of Education Credentials Student Service Center
The College of Education Credentials Student Service Center (CSSC) is provided as a service to all students and faculty involved in the credential programs. The CSSC provides the evaluations of coursework upon which the faculty make decisions as to the admission of an applicant to a program, as well as the recommendation for a credential upon a candidate's completion of a program.

Grading Practices and Disqualification
Special Grading Practices
The university has two post-baccalaureate grading patterns: "A," "B," "C," "D," "F" (including + and - except for "A+" and "D-"); and CR/NC (Credit/No credit). In the Department of Teacher Education the CR/NC boundary is based on the graduate standards: a "CR" grade indicates work at the "B-" or higher level and an "NC" indicates work at the "C+" or lower level. Under University policy, a graduate student is graded on the "A-F" system, excepting field supervision courses in the professional preparation programs which are only graded as CR/NC.
Disqualification
If a credential candidate earns a grade of "D" or "F" in a required credential course, the course must be repeated (within the department) and a "C-" grade or higher must be earned. A candidate who failed to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in any quarter will be notified that (s)he will be disqualified effective at the end of the subsequent quarter if the cumulative GPA then is not above 3.0.
A student who fails to demonstrate a high level of performance in the skills of writing, speaking, and language use is subject to re-evaluation and possible disqualification.
The behavior of teacher candidates is expected to be ethical and professional, both on campus and in the public schools. Unethical or unprofessional behavior constitutes grounds for disqualification.
Academic Dishonesty
The university, like all communities, functions best when its members treat each other with honesty, fairness, respect and trust. Deception for individual gain is an offense against the members of the entire community. It is the student teacher's responsibility to be informed of university regulations by reading the section on academic dishonesty, "How does Cal State East Bay define and handle academic dishonesty" in the Grading and Academic Standards chapter. Awarding a failing grade in the event of academic dishonesty is at the discretion of the faculty member.
The Department of Teacher Education adheres to all university rules regarding academic dishonesty and feels a particular responsibility to require the utmost professional accountability and academic honesty from students in our teaching programs. Academic dishonesty matters within the Department of Teacher Education will be brought up to the Student Affairs Committee in the presence of the department chair, the professor involved, and the student's team leader. Decisions regarding a specific course of action will be collectively decided.
