All students pursuing a credential must demonstrate depth of understanding and knowledge in the subjects to be taught. Those who teach at the elementary school level must document subject matter competency in all the subjects relevant to the elementary classroom (language arts, science, math, social science, arts, physical education and human development). Those who teach at the middle or high school level must document subject matter competency for the subject they are assigned to teach. Subject matter competency may be demonstrated by completing a program of study (Subject Matter Preparation Program) or by passing the relevant subject matter exam(s).
