Event Highlights - California's Emerging Teacher Shortage: New Evidence and Policy Responses

California’s supply of teachers is at a 12-year low. The trend continues as enrollment in educator preparation programs has dropped by more than 70 percent in the last decade. At a recent gathering in Sacramento, leading researchers, policy experts, and local practitioners looked at the problem in detail and offered solutions. The Education Policy Center at AIR, the Learning Policy Institute and Policy Analysis for California Education co-hosted the event.
