Summary:
The Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) Induction Program is a state-funded program, co-sponsored by the California Department of Education (CDE) and the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) designed to support the professional development of newly-credentialed, beginning teachers and fulfill the requirements for the California Clear Multiple and Single Subject Credentials. Though state funding is not available to charter/private school teachers for BTSA Induction, they are allowed to be served by an approved program in their vicinity with funding for support services to be provided by the private institution. Berean Christian High School, St. Agnes School, and Ygnacio Valley Christian Center are located within the boundaries of Mt. Diablo Unified and currently each school has one teacher in need of BTSA Induction. A formal Memorandum of Understanding describing payment structure and agreements is necessary in order for the Mt. Diablo Unified BTSA Induction Program to provide support.  
Funding:
Funding will be provided by individual charter/private institutions seeking support for eligible BTSA Induction teachers.  
Fiscal Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund. (BTSA Induction Program) will receive $4000 per agreement to serve charter/private school teachers in our region.
