To help limit the spread of COVID-19, the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) has closed its offices to the public - Please visit the LACOE website for guidance and resources. Until LACOE reopens to the public, all Beginning Teacher Program meetings and coursework will take place online via zoom. At this time, tuition can only be accepted via credit/debit card payment. Please see your Canvas course or contact your program coordinator for more information. Thank you for your continued support.

WHAT IS PRE-SERVICE?
Pre-Service is the first step in a series of steps that are required to become a teacher. Pre-Service delivers courses that provide a strong foundation for all new candidates as they transition into the classroom. The program includes academic-based coursework, purposefully structured to expose teacher candidates to an inquiry environment, current research, educational philosophy, theory, pedagogy and practical resources to provide a foundation for their journey as future educators. Classes are face-to-face, online, or in a hybrid platform. Instructors are experts in their subject area and provide a learning environment that is collaborative and reflective as to create a candidate that is a self-starter and an independent learner. ​ 
WHAT MAKES OUR PROGRAM UNIQUE
*Classes are all conducted live via Zoom until further notice.
