Teaching Permit for Statutory Leave Program (TPSL)
NCSOE, in partnership with accredited School Districts, provides TPSL Holders employed as a “teacher of record” and their Mentors with support and specialized training that meets the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing’s (CCTC) requirements and responsibilities (CTC leaflet CL-902).
NCSOE PROGRAM OVERVIEW
TPSL Foundational Course
NCSOE’s online self-paced course provides TPSL Holders with the foundational skills and understanding needed to be successful in today’s classroom. This course includes:
- Introduction to Early Orientation & Local Context Application
- Classroom Management & the Learning Environment
- Best Practices in Instruction & Individualized Education Programs
- Human Development
- Curriculum and Instruction
- Reading and Language Arts
- Teaching English Learners
- Ethics and Professionalism*

* Employing districts or agencies may have/require their own versions of these trainings; if so, it is encouraged that TPSL holders complete these site-based trainings. If not, the modules are provided at no additional cost.
Mentor Support and Training
In addition to the TPSL Foundational Course, districts are required to provide TPSL Holders with a trained site-based Mentor to help guide the TPSL Holder as they develop their teaching practice. NCSOE’s mentoring-based system supports Mentors with standards-based training grounded in theoretical research that builds upon and strengthens their ability to administer high quality and effective coaching and mentoring.
