The Preliminary Credential is valid for five years from the date of issuance and is not renewable. During the first five years of teaching, teachers are expected to earn the Clear Credential through a Commission-approved Teacher Induction Program sponsored by a school district, county office of education, college or university, consortium, or private school. CSULB offers a Clear Education Specialist Credential only.
