The North Coast Beginning Teacher Program (NCBTP) is a regional consortium comprised of county offices of education, universities, and hundreds of school districts and charter schools throughout Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Solano, and Sonoma counties.

The NCBTP administers three unique programs: Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) Induction, Intern, and Paraprofessional. Each is a state-approved and state-funded credential program leading to beginning teacher success.

The BTSA Induction Program supports candidates working to obtain a Professional Teaching Credential. The Intern Program offers support to candidates wishing to obtain a Preliminary Teaching Credential. The Paraprofessional Program provides support to paraprofessionals committed to becoming classroom teachers.
