This book was released on 2004 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cutbacks in funding for science professional development and efforts to recruit and retain teachers further undermine efforts to strengthen science education throughout the state. Additionally, the least prepared among these science teachers are concentrated in low-performing schools, a fact that raises questions about equal access to quality science instruction, particularly for the state's low-income and minority students. How policy-makers resolve these and other issues related to science education will have long-term implications for the success of California's students and the future of the economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, one in a series from the Teaching and California's Future Initiative (TCF), compiles secondary data from various state agencies and analyzes these data in chapters on Teacher Supply and Demand, Teacher Preparation and Recruitment, and Teacher Induction and Professional Development. Key findings included: (1) an impending bulge in teacher retirement is likely to create significant new demand for teachers; (2) special education and many secondary education subjects continue to be plagued by shortages of fully credentialed teachers; (3) under prepared teachers are found in disproportionate numbers in low performing schools and in schools serving large numbers of minority students and poor students; (4) the state?s budget crisis has led to major cuts in recruitment and fee increases for teacher credential candidates in the CSU system; (5) several major professional development programs have had funding reduced over the past few years; and (6) California?s induction system needs refinement. In light of the expected increase in the number of middle and high school students, as well as the state?s adoption of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) as a graduation requirement, professional development programs and spending are not sufficiently aligned with the training needs of secondary teachers. The report concludes with recommendations. (Contains 2 appendices and 41 exhibits.).

These reports are meant to provide California policymakers with objective and timely data on the state's teacher workforce. Chapter 1 reviews student achievement trends in the state and then provides an overview of federal and state policies, including highlights from this year's budget and legislation. Chapter 2 examines current trends in the supply, demand, and distribution of teachers. Chapter 3 provides details on the impact of recent policy changes on the teacher development system, and Chapter 4 highlights themes that emerge from the new policies and programs and assesses the adequacy of the state's efforts. Chapter 5 provides recommendations for next steps to ensure that the state continues to build on the efforts begun this year. Appended are: (1) Source and Technical Information for Selected Exhibits; and (2) NCLB Compliant and Noncompliant California Credentials. [For the 2004 edition of this report, see ED483256.] (Contains 49 exhibits and 23 footnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This policy brief examines the professional development and support that teachers receive to help them work with students with special needs. In a survey commissioned by the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning, 88% of all California teachers reported having special education students in their classes, yet only 30% reported having adequate training to effectively teach those students. By failing to support and sustain a cohesive teacher development system that targets the needs of all teachers, including those serving special education students, California is falling short of ensuring that these students have adequate and equitable opportunities for educational success. Although California has begun to move in the right direction by including special education teachers in a few major reform efforts, much more needs to be done, including: (1) Revise the "Standards for the Teaching Profession" to better align with what teachers should know and be able to do to work successfully with special education students; (2) Establish mentor teacher resource lists at each Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) in order to match underprepared teachers with support providers experienced in the field of special education; and (3) Include the percentage of underprepared, intern, and novice special education teachers in reports on the make-up of the teacher workforce. (Contains 2 endnotes.).
