The
CESA 7 Teacher Development Center (TDC) Program is a one-to-two
year accelerated, performance based, intensive teacher preparation
program that selects candidates who want to be teachers
and have a four-year college degree in high needs areas
and are committed to children and learning. It is also a
program for certified teachers who want to add English Language
Learner, Bilingual or Special Education certification to
their existing license. The not-for-profit CESA 7 Teacher
Development Center was created in direct response to school
district needs for highly qualified teachers in specific
fields.
Our mission is to provide our teacher candidates with the knowledge, skills and dispositions needed to effectively meet the diverse educational needs of all children and youth in our schools.
CESA
7 partners with Silver Lake College to provide graduate
level courses needed for teacher certification. The credits
for courses completed in the TDC Program are considered
electives in the Masters in Teacher Leadership Program at
Silver Lake College. More information on the Masters in
Teacher Leadership Program is available at
