I've been reading up on the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing website, and it seems like after I get my degree, I could quite easily become a substitute teacher part time to try it out. Now, I know being a substitute teacher is probably quite different, but it's easy to get into. Seems like all you have to do is pass the CBEST, complete the application, and pay the fee.

I know schools are dropping tech ed. But I still think it is a wonderful subject. I also am looking into Math and Physics.

I'm looking at Single Subject Credentials. It looks like you have to get your baccalaureate degree, take a single subject teacher preparation program, pass the CBEST, and take and pass any CSETs for whatever subjects you want. Seems like something I could do.

Could anyone tell me what a "single subject teacher preparation program" would consist of? Is this basically another year of college where you go to "how to be a teacher" school? Do they put you in classrooms as an assistant?
