CSUDH’s Toros Teach LA is an innovative program that addresses the severe shortage of early childhood educators by preparing, graduating, and placing culturally competent, racially diverse teachers and leaders in schools across the LA region.
The program comprises the Early Childhood Excellence and Black Educator Excellence initiatives, through which we build equity-embedded credentials, improve graduation rates of underrepresented students in teacher credential programs, and enable educators to forge successful teaching careers with less debt and high career retention.
Initiatives
The Early Childhood Excellence initiative offers CSUDH students the new PK-3 Early Childhood Education Specialist Instruction Credential. To address the need of new teachers, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) has approved a new teaching credential to teach children in pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade.

The Black Educator Excellence initiative addresses the importance of teachers sharing their lived learning experiences and build a sustainable pathway to a rewarding teaching career. To learn more, click on the Black Educator Excellence below.
