Best online teaching credential programs good for California?

My lovely daughter is just about to graduate from UCLA. She is now considering the best way to earn a teaching credential and is hoping to do it online. She is looking at National University, where I earned my credential, but she would like some other options. National is a little pricey for her.

We know there are a number of good options out there, but I would like to hear from my esteemed DI colleagues about some other programs. What is the best way to get a credential that will be good here in California? What is the most economical way to go?

Sigh. Until I read your whole post, I was going to say "National."

If no other options arise--and let's hope posters more knowledgeable than I am prevail--perhaps this is an investment (and debt) worth taking on.

 

My first check for programs leading to teacher certification is always to Western Governor's University. Their focus on and expertise in DL teacher education, footprint, NCATE accreditation, and tuition costs are all very favorable. WGU Teacher Licensure Programs. They maintain their own pages outlining state requirements and discussing correspondence with WGU coursework: Teacher Licensure State Requirements - California.
