Teacher Workforce Data Education Research Report

Education Research Report: Teacher Workforce Data

Teacher Workforce Data

Ω

The Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning
has posted new teacher workforce data from the 2009-10 school year. 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 important resource provides access to data that has been compiled and analyzed in unique ways for the Center by SRI International. These data sets, which are not found elsewhere, are available free of charge.

The new data allow users to examine the distribution of novice teachers by school characteristics such as the percentage of minority students and students in poverty in the school, as well as the percentage of students passing the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). All data are also available on a county-by-county basis.

Funding for the Center's Web-based data resource was provided by the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation. It can be accessed online at
