The Status of the Teaching Profession, 2005

As policymakers have struggled to make informed decisions about effective ways of strengthening the state’s teacher workforce, the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning’s Teaching and California’s Future initiative (TCF) has provided California policymakers with objective and timely data. The TCF initiative publishes a report each year that provides detailed data on the teacher workforce and labor market and describes teacher development policies, with a focus on how they impact teacher quality and teacher distribution.
