A district-university partnership program provides an alternative route to teacher certification for noncredentialed special education teachers working in a rural California desert region. The program features locally available courses, on-campus summer courses, an alternative internship credential, collaborative structure, a coach-of-coaches strategy, and continuing professional development opportunities. Retention of program graduates is high. (Contains 55 references.) (SV)
