In addition, the Anaheim Elementary School District also has four separate support facilities.

The Anaheim Elementary School District serves approximately 14,000 students at 23 schools and employs more than 2,000 people. AESD’s 22 square mile boundary includes most of Anaheim, Orange County’s largest city. Anaheim is the perfect location to raise a family and enjoy all that Southern California has to offer. We are committed to providing an instructional program where fundamental subjects as well as 21st Century themes such as World Languages, Art and Music, Science, Social Studies, and Civic Engagement are taught and supported in order for our students to become responsible members of society. Each school site has a unique academic program, best know as eSTEAM-D.

As outlined in SB2042, Teacher and Administrator Induction is now the pathway to a Professional Clear Credential. AESD Teacher and Administrator Induction Program is designed to support beginning teachers and administrators who have finished their credentialing program and have applied for, or currently hold, a preliminary Multiple Subject, Education Specialist, or Single Subject or Administrative Credential. AESD is dedicated to providing Induction for teachers and administrators who are working toward clearing these credentials.

Our job-embedded program provides clear credential candidates with the opportunity to deeply consider the application of the strategies and skills that were emphasized in the teacher and administrator preparation experience. Assigned to a knowledgeable and experienced Support Provider or Coach, teachers and administrators are guided through the inquiry process and given, “Just in Time” and long term support. The new teachers' professional growth goal is the catalyst for an individualized inquiry. While the new administrators focus on the CPSELs.

In the 2024/2025 program year, the AESD Induction Program supported 49 Participating Teachers and 9 Participating Administrators. Of those, 39 completed year two and were recommended for the California Clear Credential. With 23 Support Providers and 1 Coach, our program averages a 1:2 SP/PT ratio and 1:1 Coach/PA ratio. Currently in the 2026-2027 program, the AESD Induction Program will support 36 Participating Teachers and 9 Participating Administrators. Of those, 30 are year two candidates. None are enrolled in the Early Completion Option. We also have 24 Support Providers this program year.
