National University - Teaching Credential
#1
Has anyone done this? The local high school is offering me a grant of $20,000 to go to a California based school to get a teaching license. Considering going to National University as their program is online, and California base thus eligible for the grant.

Hmm, Maybe do a search for a few online options that are available in California, then drop that list down to the top 2-3 choices, and decide from those two or three to see which one fits your goals. National University has made some changes over the last couple of years, such as merging their NCU into NU, dropped a few full-ride scholarships, etc, they're an OK option though, a very good backup option too if you have any other schools you're interested in, maybe research them first.

Indeed. The other option I'm looking at is CalStateTEACH 
https://www.calstateteach.net/

But their reviews are also mixed.

A lot of the bigger online schools now cost a fortune (Point Loma, La Verne, Grand Canyon). WGU isn't prepared for the 2024 changes in california licensure and is stopping Californian enrollments. I'm finding it difficult. A lot of schools that say they support California aren't actually approved by California. Our requirements are super strict.

Did they provide a list of schools? Are you planning to become a teacher now?

University of the People, which is in California and entirely online, is accepted by Washington state as a teacher license preparation course due to it being DEAC accredited. If you look at the dept of Education info it will claim only regionally accredited schools or state approved 3rd party (non-university) teacher education programs are accepted, but if you click the link to see their detailed list of qualifying accreditors DEAC is in there anyways. 

California might also say it qualifies, if you dig, especially since Washington state has a teacher's license equivalency program with most states including Hawaii and Idaho (I have already confirmed DEAC qualifies you for a teaching license in at least one more state, but haven't looked for California)

A M.Ed at Uopeople, assuming you get both primary and secondary school specializations, cost around $5,000.

If you want a more prestigious degree that's another story.
Finished: 2 AAs, 1 BA, 2 trade schools, 3 ENEB MAs, JLPT N1.
In Progress: 1 WGU MA, 2 Mastercurssos, 3 more ENEB MAs, teacher license.

In the case of the MEd at U of People, I really like their program as it's endorsed by IB.org and it's an Advanced Teaching degree, it's the only program at U of People that interests me as it's the only unique degree they have that's not as common as the others they offer...
