AB2652

Teacher credentialing: world languages: subject matter examinations: language proficiency assessments.

Final Passage·6/25/26

California AB2652 amends teacher credentialing requirements for world languages by allowing language proficiency assessments to fulfill subject.

California AB2652 modifies the Education Code to allow candidates for world language teaching credentials to use language proficiency assessments, such as those from the ACTFL, to meet subject matter knowledge requirements. This change applies to both preliminary single subject teaching credentials and language authorizations. The bill ensures that candidates can demonstrate their competence through recognized assessments when a specific subject matter examination is not administered by the commission.
