TeachersCHOICE: Standard Teaching Intern and Early-Completion Option
EARN A SALARY WHILE YOU EARN YOUR CREDENTIAL
The Shirley M. Hufstedler School of Education offers many ways to carve the right path for a teaching career in California public schools. As an intern, you will serve as a paid teacher-of-record while you complete your program.
INTERNSHIPS APPROVED BY THE CCTC
HSOE internships are cooperative teaching programs between Alliant and an employing school district or accredited school site. All our internship programs are approved by the CCTC (California Commission on Teacher Credentialing).
Program completers earn a preliminary credential in one of the following areas:
- Multiple Subject Teaching
- Single Subject Teaching
- Multiple Subject Teaching with BCLAD Authorization
PICK YOUR PATH TO A CREDENTIAL
We offer two pathways to a credential. Choose the one that best matches your career goals and background.

EARLY COMPLETION OPTION (ECO) INTERN TEACHING PROGRAM
The Early Completion Option (ECO) Intern program supports and advances candidates who have experience in teaching, education and instructional strategies or those who are changing careers. ECO intern candidates must currently have an offer of employment as a teacher-of-record in an accredited K–12 California school.
The ECO Program acknowledges and honors candidates who demonstrate competency and skill in teaching. By passing the Teaching Foundations Examination you may waive most traditionally required teacher education coursework.
