RICA TEST PREPARATION

The North Coast Beginning Teacher Program is offering a test prep class to support teachers’ success with the RICA! The RICA Test Prep Workshop is a single-session workshop that provides an overview of testing strategies, test format, and study strategies. This workshop will cover specifics in the areas found in the five domains as detailed for the revised RICA Written Exam.

The RICA requirement generally applies to candidates who complete Multiple Subject Teaching Credential or Education Specialist Instruction Credential programs through accredited California colleges or universities or via district intern programs. In addition, multiple subject candidates trained outside of California and individuals seeking to add a Single Subject teaching Credential may use a passing score on the RICA to fulfill the teaching of reading methods requirements.

Based on California Education Code Sections 44283 and 44283.2, the following two groups
of credential applicants are required to pass the RICA:

  1. California-trained candidates for the initial Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, preliminary or clear, with or without emphasis, based on a fifth-year, blended, or intern program or on three or more years of applicable private school experience.

  2. California-trained candidates for initial Education Specialist Instruction Credentials, preliminary level 1 or clear level II.
