Preparing Educators to Be
Effective, Reflective and Engaged
The School of Education demonstrates its effectiveness semester after semester by providing a well-qualified teacher and administrator work force for the North State and beyond, as evidenced by the number of teacher hires, size of administrator cohorts, success of program finishers, and amount of external grant dollars secured.

The first cohort has completed the newly revised Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program and a new cohort has started in fall 2017. This program provides the foundations of educational leadership necessary to qualify for a Clear California Administrative Services Credential granted through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).
With the preliminary administrative credential completers can serve as an assistant superintendent, principal, assistant principal, supervisor, coordinator, or other equivalent level administrator in California public schools.
In fall 2016-Spring 2017, there were 219 initial credential program completers. 99% of initial credential program candidates successfully passed the summative assessment for their program pathway (PACT, edTPA, or CalTPA). Additionally, there were 36 Masters in Education program completers.
School of Education grants support students, programs, and school partners. Grants serve to pay students stipends, fund innovative program development and opportunities, and provide professional development for credential candidates, faculty, university supervisors, and teachers throughout the north state.
The School of Education is the recipient of active grants with a total award amount of $12,966,680.00. In 2016-2017 the total fiscal year award amount was $3,239.134.00 with an additional $437,251.00 pending.
School of Education faculty and students are reflective about their teaching practice and scholarship, as evidenced by scholarly activity that reflects the school's mission and vision of social and eco justice, and the organization's conceptual framework that has been recently revised.
Dr. Ann Schulte has recently submitted for review two articles on reflective practice. The Links for each are below:
In spring 2017, the School of Education approved a revised conceptual framework (PDF), focused on the core values of Inclusivity, Democracy, Sustainability, Service, and Inquiry.
The School of Education engages with North State educational community by providing professional development opportunities such as: the state-wide Better Together event that showcased Keynote speaker Dr. Jill Biden; offering residency-based credential programs such as the Residency in Secondary Education (RISE) program that incorporate a master's degree program with a full time, yearlong teacher residency leading to California teacher certification in English, Mathematics, Science, or Special Education, staffing areas of high need; and participating actively in state and national professional organizations, such as the Rural Schools Collaborative and the National Network for Educational Renewal.
CSU, Chico is one of three Northern California campuses to co-host the conference, in addition to Humboldt State and Simpson University in Redding. Overall, 35 campuses across the state helped host the Summit (including 20 CSU campuses), which is open to all California PreK-12 teachers, teacher candidates, school administrators, and other educators.
The School of Education at Chico State is the only California member of the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER). The organization seeks to "foster school and university partnerships engaged in the simultaneous renewal of schools and the education of those who work in them." Nationwide, the NNER's members include 24 partnership settings, with 44 institutions of higher education and approximately 150 school districts and 700 partner schools.
