USC's school of education administrators announced Thursday that it will offer its nearly 25,000 alumni additional support, potentially including classroom visits.
Rossier School of Education officials said they believe students are well prepared to be effective teachers when they graduate, but that they felt an obligation to offer more training.
Teacher credentialing programs have come under scrutiny by elected officials, including U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan. In a speech in 2009, he criticized colleges and universities for doing a mediocre job of preparing educators.
Graduates of USC's counseling, K-12 leadership, student services, marriage and family therapy, and education doctorate programs will also be eligible to use the services.
"We will be there to help them if they need us," said Karen Symms Gallagher, the school's dean.
USC officials have already set up a hotline and email address for graduates and assembled a rapid response team of nine full-time faculty who can assess teachers' strengths and weaknesses. Faculty members may also visit teachers in their classrooms, if requested, and offer coaching.
The school would not bill graduates for additional support but may refer teachers to a third party that may charge them.
Gallagher also said USC staff members have consulted with local districts and that any training the program offers would not interfere with existing professional development.
"We would not want to duplicate something that the teacher needs but is already ongoing," she said.
