Who must be present for classroom instruction according to SPAB regulations?

In the context of SPAB regulations, classroom instruction must be led by a certified instructor recognized by the Department of Education (DOE) or the California Department of Education (CDE). This requirement ensures that the instruction provided meets established standards of quality and of educational rigor. Certified instructors are equipped with the necessary training, knowledge, and credentials to effectively teach students, ensuring safety and compliance with educational regulations.

This standard is critical for maintaining a structured learning environment where students are taught by someone who understands the curriculum and pedagogical methods required for effective education. In contrast, although adults, school counselors, and volunteer teachers may contribute to educational environments, they do not have the necessary certification to fulfill the specific roles defined by SPAB regulations for classroom instruction. Thus, having a certified instructor not only promotes educational integrity but also aligns with the safety and regulatory frameworks established for pupil activity bus programs.
