Περίληψη: California faces long-standing shortages of fully prepared teachers. Using data from the California Department of Education and the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), this brief analyzes supply- and demand-side factors shaping staffing challenges over time. Despite declining enrollment, teacher demand remains high, driven by persistent turnover, increasing student needs, and efforts to lower class sizes. Turnover is highest among beginning teachers, those on emergency-style permits, teachers of color, and special education teachers and is associated with lack of preparation, heavier workloads, principal turnover, and lower salaries and per-pupil spending. The number of teacher preparation program completers dropped 60% between 2003-04 and 2013-14, but recent state investments have begun to pay off, with new preliminary credentials up 40% from 2022-23 to 2024-25 and greater racial diversity among new teacher candidates. However, most programs have been funded on a one-time basis and will soon expire without continued funding. [This document was prepared with the UC Davis School of Education.]
