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.).

Book excerpt: As California has struggled through economic and policy shifts, the "Teaching and California's Future" initiative has worked to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the system of teacher development in the state and to provide policymakers with the data they seek to inform their decisions in strengthening schools. During the 2002-03 school year, SRI International launched a third comprehensive round of data collection. This work included a statewide survey of a representative sample of K-12 teachers, focusing on teachers' preparation, job search, induction, workplace support, and professional development. To complement the statewide data gathered through the survey, SRI conducted in-depth case studies of four local systems of teacher development. The local system of teacher development includes the organizations and programs that serve both teachers in the workforce and individuals preparing to enter teaching. Each local system studied typically included four schools, a central office, and the surrounding teacher preparation programs, county offices, and other providers of support to teachers. The findings from these data collection efforts and from continued analysis of secondary databases in the state constitute the bulk of this report. This document includes the main research findings of Teaching and California's Future and the detailed recommendations. This report is organized into five chapters. The first addresses the status of the teacher workforce, with a focus on shifts in the number and distribution of underprepared teachers. The second tracks the system of teacher preparation, including an extensive analysis of alternative pathways into the teaching profession. The third describes the study's findings on the system of induction into the profession for new teachers. The fourth concentrates on the professional development system. The final chapter summarizes the findings and includes recommendations. The three appendices provide information on data collection methods and analyses, technical information for figures and tables found in Chapters 2 through 5, and supplemental figures for Chapter 2.
