The New Teacher & Leadership Development (NTLD) unit is approved and accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and offers a range of programs which provide credential pathways for aspiring teachers and administrators. NTLD credentials hold the same value and integrity as credentials earned via a university-based program and are valid anywhere in California. Each program is designed to develop talented, dedicated, and eager educators who are trained to expand equity and access for all students.
