The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing has launched a Roadmap to Teaching initiative that helps guide potential educators through the process of earning a credential.

A digital tool on its website provides information for potential teachers, substitute teachers, counselors, librarians, administrators, health service workers and aides. It walks candidates through the credentialing process for their desired position, as well as preparation options.

The commission also has a new staff of career counselors to provide individualized guidance to those interested in a career in education.
