Frequently Asked Questions
Induction Program

How much does the Induction Program cost?
The cost for the Induction Program is $250 for the non-refundable advisement fee and $2,000 per year (for two years) for tuition. If your school/district/charter does not subsidize/pay for mentor support, additional fees will be incurred. ​

​Do I have to pay for the Induction Program up front?
The $250 non-refundable advisement fee is due up front, but the tuition payments are made in monthly installments from October - May. ​

​How do I obtain my transcripts for my work in the Induction Program?
​We do not offer official sealed transcripts for work completed in the Induction Program. Verification of completion can be accessed by printing a grade report from Canvas. See your Canvas account's Pages tab for more information.

​How long does it take to complete the Induction Program?
The standard Induction Program takes two years to complete. If a candidate applies for and is accepted in to the Early Completion Option (ECO) Program, it can be completed in one year. ​

​What if I already have a Clear or Level II credential? Do I need to complete Induction?
​No. On March 7, 2019 Title 5 was amended to allow an educator who already holds a clear teaching credential in one area, general education or special education, to be granted a clear teaching credential in a new credential type, in special education or general education, upon completion of the appropriate preliminary teacher preparation program without being required to complete an additional induction experience.

How do I enroll in the Induction Program?​
The first step to enrolling in the Induction Program is to register for and attend an Information Meeting. Click here to find the registration link. 
​

Can I clear my credential online?
LACOE BTP does not currently offer an online only option to complete Induction. The program includes meeting face to face and occasionally online with a mentor weekly for the duration of the program. ​​

​Do General Education & Education Specialists complete the same Induction Program?
​Yes, the program is the same. Candidates are matched with mentors with a similar credential type (if available) to help tailor the program to meet a candidate's needs.

My preliminary credential is expired. Can I enroll in Induction?​
​No. Candidates need a valid Preliminary Credential that will last the duration of the Induction Program (2-years).

Who do I contact if I need an extension for my Preliminary Credential?​
Contact Ashley Ruiz, Induction Coordinator, for more information about extensions (ruiz_ashley@lacoe.edu). Please note that only current Induction candidates can obtain assistance in applying for a credential extension. Prospective candidates must obtain a position as "Teacher of Record" in order to to qualify for assistance with an extension. ​

​If I was let go or resigned from my school, can I still participate in Induction?
​No. Per the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, all candidates must be "Teacher of Record" in order to participate in Induction. If a candidate is let go or resigns, their Induction Program is automatically put on hold.

If I already completed a year of Induction with another agency/district, can I complete Year Two with LACOE BTP?​
Yes, but you must provide evidence of completion of Year One from your former agency/district. ​​
