APPLE
ACCELERATED PREPARATION PROGRAM FOR LEADERS IN EDUCATION
The Accelerated Preparation Program for Leaders in Education (APPLE) is a partnership between LAUSD - Local District South and Local District East to recruit, train, prepare, place and retain highly qualified elementary and secondary teachers. This program is ideal for recent college graduates and mid-career professionals or paraprofessionals (but no teaching experience). Through APPLE, participants will teach full-time as interns (earning full salary and benefits) while completing their preliminary teaching credential. APPLE features an accelerated curriculum (credential in one year!), financial support ($10,000 stipend), and substantial classroom support for new teachers. APPLE elementary teachers will also earn a single subject foundational credential in math or science to teach grades 7-8. APPLE will promote equity in education by preparing highly qualified new teachers and increasing STEM teaching skills for educators in partner schools.
REAL
RESIDENCY FOR EQUITY THROUGH ACTION AND LEARNING
The REAL Project will recruit, prepare, place and retain highly qualified math, science, and English teachers to meet critical staffing needs in Green Dot CA’s high-need middle and high schools and partners with LAUSD to meet critical staffing needs at the elementary level. This program is ideal for recent college graduates and mid-career professionals or paraprofessionals with a background in math, science, and English (but no teaching experience). CSUDH’s unique demographics will enable REAL to produce home-grown teachers from the neighborhoods where they will teach. Highly qualified REAL teachers will increase student achievement in math, science and English. REAL features a year-long residency, integrated credential and master’s degree curriculum (complete both in 15 months!), financial support ($36,000-$40,000) extensive clinical practice, and substantial classroom support.
