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 California 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. Mt. Diablo Unified operates a fully approved program which allows the district to receive funding for eligible BTSA Induction teachers. Though state funding is not available to 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. NorthCreek Academy (2303 Ygnacio Valley Rd., Walnut Creek), Tabernacle School (4380 Concord Blvd., Concord), and Ygnacio Valley Christian (4977 Concord Blvd., Concord) schools are located within the boundaries of Mt. Diablo Unified and currently have one or more teachers 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 private institutions seeking support for eligible BTSA Induction teachers.
Fiscal Impact There is no impact to the General Fund. MDUSD (BTSA Induction Program) will receive $4,000 for each of the five private school teachers supported by a MDUSD BTSA Peer Coach.
Recommendation: Approve the Memorandums of Understanding.
