California Teacher Workforce Data Now Available

The Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning now provides online access to the data sets used in The Status of the Teaching Profession 2009, the most recent annual report on California's teaching workforce. The content, platform and format for the site were designed especially for use by policymakers, academic researchers, philanthropic organizations, journalists and others interested in public education in California.

This new and important resource provides access to data that are publicly available through the California Department of Education but compiled and analyzed in unique ways for the Center by SRI International. Use of the data sets, which are not found elsewhere, is available free of charge.

This new resource allows users to examine the preparation and experience of California’s teaching force as well as the distribution of teachers by school characteristics, including poverty and minority. This year’s data also provide a rich picture of the high school teaching force. Some, but not all of the teacher workforce data, are also available on a county-by-county basis.

Initial funding for the Center’s new Web-based data resource was provided by the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
