Administrative Credential
"I learned how to teach and how to be an administrator from actual teachers and administrators. That's the best part of being at SMC: you're taught by people who are actually in the trenches. They share with you real scenarios, real documents and real procedures. The curriculum was rigorous but practical; the assignments prepared me for the work that I encounter in schools."
- Kelly Johnson, Single Subject Credential, Administrative Credential and Master's Program Graduate; Vice Principal
