Pathways to Teaching

Are you or someone you know an aspiring teacher?

MCOE has partnered with Alder GSE and CSUMB to offer a new Teacher Residency pathway to earn your teaching credential in one year if you already have your BA. 

We are now recruiting for our 2024-2025 Teacher Residency Cohorts! 

Are you or someone you know a current Monterey County Classified staff member earning a BA and working towards your credential? We also have a Classified Grant to provide financial support up to $4,800 annually.

We are now accepting applications for MCOEs Classified Grant for our 2023-2024 school year!
