LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1122, as amended, Limón. Affordable housing. Teachers: dual-language immersion programs.

Existing law requires professional preparation for teachers to be made available in the upper division course offerings at all California public institutions of higher learning, except for the California Maritime Academy and the Hastings College of the Law. Existing law also provides that the Commission on Teacher Credentialing shall encourage postsecondary institutions that offer programs of professional preparation to collaborate with school districts, county offices of education, and professional organizations in the design and delivery of local programs to function as part of the California beginning teacher support and assessment program. Existing law also provides that an integrated program of professional preparation enables candidates for teaching credentials to engage in professional preparation, concurrently with subject matter preparation, while completing baccalaureate degrees at regionally accredited postsecondary educational institutions.

This bill would require the commission to encourage the establishment and expansion of partnerships between local educational agencies and institutions of higher education to offer integrated teacher preparation programs, as specified, that prepare educators to teach in dual-language immersion programs through integrated programs offering professional preparation concurrently with the completion of a baccalaureate degree.

Existing law states legislative findings and declarations regarding the need for affordable housing in connection with local authority to approve housing developments.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to housing.
