Student California Teachers Association

At that time, the CCTC also adopted the following Mission Statement: "This mission of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing is to assure the fully prepared and effective educators all students deserve and our communities require. The Commission will carry out its statutory mandates by:

Proposing policies in credential related areas;

Conducting research and assessment;

Monitoring fitness-related conduct and imposing credential discipline;
