CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, LONG BEACH
URBAN DUAL CREDENTIAL PROGRAM
Individual Development Plan (IDP)
Credential Candidate Name: __________________________________________ Year of Student Teaching:______________________________
The Urban Dual Credential Program (UDCP) is a combined multiple subjects and education specialist credential program. The candidate named above has
met requirements for the multiple subjects and the education specialist preliminary credential in the following area:
Mild/Moderate Moderate/Severe
Program Pathway (check one): ITEP Traditional (Post-Bac)
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing awards credentials on the basis of completion of programs that meet Standards for Educator Preparation
and Educator Competence. Standards 6 requires the development of an “Individual Development Plan” before exiting the preliminary credential program. This
plan should be completed during the final two weeks of student teaching and only signed if the candidate is expected to receive credit for the course.
Otherwise, this plan should be completed after the successful completion of the credential program.
In collaboration with the University Supervisor and the Master Teacher, the credential candidate identifies goals related to the California Standards for the
Teaching Profession as top priorities for support during the initial phase of induction. The Urban Dual Credential Program prepares candidates for both the
multiple subjects and education specialist preliminary credential. Therefore, this plan covers both credential areas and reflects the Teacher Performance
Expectations for both multiple subjects and education specialist, both of which are aligned to the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. The plan is
based on the results of the CSU Long Beach Urban Dual Credential Student Teacher Evaluation Rubric and other observation data collected through the final
phase of fieldwork.
It is the responsibility of the teacher candidate to retrieve signatures for this document and retain the original for the employing school district induction
program director/coordinator.
