Thank you for your interest in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

The District Intern Program is an alternative route to earn a teaching credential and has a long successful history of training teachers to effectively prepare our students to reach their highest potential.

It is a rigorous, three-year teacher training program that enables participants to earn a multiple subject, multiple subject bilingual, single subject, or education specialist Preliminary and Professional Clear credential while teaching. There is also a two-year option for general education credentialed teachers who wish to move to Special Education. The teachers enrolled in the programs are fully supported by mentors, support providers, and program staff as they move through the process. Participants also earn salary points that move them on the salary scale.

If you are currently enrolled in the District Intern Program - WELCOME!

You are about to embark on the most important educational opportunity of your life - TEACHING!

We hope, as a District Intern, you will use this website as a valuable resource to progress through the program.

Success to each of you!
