This is where I’m supposed to be. PEBC was a tremendous stepping stone. I needed them to be there. Their support hurtled me forward a little faster, and really helped me leap into teaching, a career I love.

Teacher of Record Pathway

The Teacher of Record Pathway is an outstanding opportunity to jumpstart your teaching career. If you have a bachelor's degree in any field and experience working with children in a classroom, this unique pathway allows you to:

  • Secure a position as a lead teacher.
  • Smoothly transition from an Alternative Teaching License to an Initial Professional License with the support of PEBC through CDE-approved coaching and coursework.

What sets this program apart is the unparalleled support you'll receive. PEBC works closely with hiring schools to assign a dedicated mentor within your building, and you'll also receive continuous guidance from PEBC coaches. This combination ensures that you're never alone on your journey—whether participating in online classes, completing coursework, or benefiting from in-person classroom visits by your coach.

The benefits don't stop there. Upon completing the program, you'll have access to five years of professional development through PEBC, enhancing your skills and career prospects. Plus, you'll earn transferable master's credits from one of PEBC's six esteemed partner universities, giving you a head start on further educational achievements.
