Abstract: The presentation will address questions related to high quality teacher preparation through an alternative certification route in an online supported learning environment. Specifically, the presentation will highlight the structure of CalStateTEACH, a centrally-administered, online supported alternative teacher preparation program through the California State University System. In addition, data of program graduates’ preparedness, as reported by both students and direct supervisors, after their first year in a fulltime teaching position, will be presented in a comparative nature with traditionally prepared, on-campus, students. Limitations and strengths of online supported teacher preparedness, through alternative certification programs, will be addressed. Specifically, the structure of an existing online supported program will be explored.
