The Santa Barbara County Education Office (SBCEO) Bilingual Authorization Program (BAP)
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) approved Bilingual Authorization Program (BAP) is a two-term program for in-service teachers who are interested in adding a bilingual authorization to their credentials to teach in bilingual/biliteracy (Spanish/English) classrooms. The Program begins during the summer with coursework and ends in either fall or spring term with a fieldwork experience. The three required courses address the Bilingual Teaching Performance Expectations (BTPE) by engaging candidates in examining bilingual and biliteracy theory and practice, methods for primary and target language instruction, and culturally appropriate pedagogies. The fieldwork experience, 20 hours minimum, takes place in a bilingual classroom and is the program’s culminating activity. With support from a fieldwork supervisor or “colega”, candidates implement bilingual/biliteracy units developed during the coursework phase of the program.
ED X360A - Foundations of Bilingual and Biliteracy Education
ED X360B - Second Language Acquisition in Bilingual/Dual Language Immersion Classrooms
ED X360C - Preparation for Fieldwork Experience in a Bilingual/Dual Language Immersion Classroom
