DIFFICULT TIMES THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS.
ENTERED INTO TEACHER RECRUITMENT
IN A WAY THAT WE NOT BEFORE- AS
YOU WILL HEAR TODAY RECRUITMENT
TYPICALLY HAPPENS FROM THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT LEVEL- AND AIDED
BY INCREDIBLE WORK BY OUR
PARTNER AT THE- CALIFORNIA
TEACHER- THE COULD COMMISSION ON
TEACHER CREDENTIALING- LED BY-
VERY SANDY WHO I AM. PLEASED TO
SIR WITH AS A COMMISSIONER ON
THAT THEORY- COMMISSION. AND SO
AT CITY WE'VE LAUNCHED. OUR

REFERRAL WAY TO CONNECT
CANDIDATES TO THE VARIOUS
PROGRAMS THAT EXIST IS A LOT OF
INFORMATION OUT THERE. ABOUT
SCHOLARSHIPS ABOUT TEACHER
CREDENTIALING PROGRAMS AND ABOUT
DISTRICTS WHO ARE HIRING BUT
UNTIL IT'S ALL IN ONE PLACE.
WE'VE CREATED A WAY TO HELP CAN
I JUST GET ACCESS TO THAT
INFORMATION SO THEY'LL KNOW THAT
CALIFORNIA OFFERS A SCHOLARSHIP
IN THE GOLDEN STATE TEACHER
GRANT TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BECOME A
TEACHER. OR A COUNSELOR IN OUR
SCHOOLS. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO
LEARN MORE ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE
TEACHER GRADUATE PROGRAMS. AND
WHAT DISTRICTS ARE HIRING. IN
OUR INFORMATION FOR ALL WORK WE
WILL A NEW PARTNER. WITH THE
CALCULUS VOLUNTEER COMMISSION
THIS COMMISSION HAS TEN. SERVICE
MEMBERS EVERY SINGLE YEAR THREE
THOUSAND OF WHOM ARE WORKING IN
SCHOOLS AND SO WE ROLLED OUT A
CAREER FAIR SERIES FOR THESE
MEMBERS MANY OF WHOM ARE ABOUT
TO GRADUATE COLLEGE TO HELP THEM
LEARN ABOUT HOW TO BECOME.
FEATURES AND HOW TO CONNECT TO
THE SCHOLARSHIP AND THE TEACHER
CREDENTIALING PROGRAMS. WE WILL
CONTINUE THIS WORK- TO ALSO
FEATURE CLASSIFIED STAFF INSTEAD
WORKING AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS TO
HELP THEM GET ON A PATH. TO
BECOME A TEACHER WE BELIEVE THAT
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT- POOL OF
APPLICANTS AND WE'RE GRATEFUL
FOR THE MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WHO PARTNER WITH US IN DOING
THESE RECRUITMENT. AFFAIRS
THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION WE WILL ALSO LAUNCH A
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
CAMPAIGN- TO HELP. PEOPLE LEARN
ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITIES TO BECOME A
TEACHER. THIS INCLUDES THOSE WHO
MIGHT BE CAREER CHANGERS OF
THOSE WERE COMING FROM OUT OF
STATE SOMEONE WHO IS A MILITARY
SERVICE PERSON IN OUR STATE.
WHOSE PARTNER MAY BE A TEACHER.
AND SO WE CAN CONNECT THE DOTS
TO CONNECT ALL THESE CANDIDATES.
TO OUR PROGRAMS AND DIRECTLY TO
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS- THIS
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
FEATURES MESSAGES FROM. SOME OF
OUR AWARD WINNING TEACHERS
INCLUDING. ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S-
TEACHERS OF THE YEAR WHO IS
BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE
NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR.
PROGRAMS AND SO WE'VE LAUNCHED A
HOTLINE SO THAT ANYONE CAN CALL
TO GET INFORMATION. AND SOMEONE
WILL TAKE YOUR CALL IT HELPS TO
CONNECT YOU DIRECTLY TO A
DIFFERENT TEST FIRING. DIRECTLY
TO A TEACHER CREDENTIALING
PROGRAM- DIRECTLY TO- THE
SCHOLARSHIP. AND SO THIS ONE
STOP IS A NEW. AND THE E. WAY
SOMEONE TO REACH TO US FOR HELP
. IS THERE EMAIL. AT EACH INS C.
A. DOT C. D. DE CA DOT GOV AND
SO WE- THOSE. AND AS HAS BEEN A
LITTLE TO IN THE OPENING SEGMENT
I'VE- THE HIGH NUMBER OF
RETIREMENTS THAT WE'VE SEEN. IN
OUR EDUCATOR RANKS WE ALSO ARE
SPONSORING LEGISLATION THIS YEAR
WHICH IS IN THE SENATE- THAT
WOULD- CREATE A WAIVER SO THAT
RETIRED TEACHERS COULD CONTINUE
TEACHING. IN THE CLASSROOM MANY
TIMES SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE HAD
THE GOOD FORTUNE OF HAVING
RETIRED TEACHERS- SUBSTITUTE-
INCH WITH THE DRESS A SHORTAGE
NEEDS THAT ARE IMMEDIATE- IT NOW
RETIRED TEACHERS WHO'VE BEEN
TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM OF
BUMPING UP AGAINST. A WAGE CAP
THAT SAYS HE CANNOT TEACH
ANYMORE LESS EXPERIENCED A
PENALTY AGAINST YOUR RETIREMENT
WAGES AND SO- WE HAVE
INTRODUCED. WE HAVE SPONSORED-
SB SEVEN SIX FIVE- WITH SENATOR
PORTANTINO- TO. A BILL THAT IF.
PASSED WOULD PROVIDE A WAIVER
AND- WE LIKE TO SEE THIS BILL
ACTED ON URGENTLY RECOGNIZING
THAT- SCHOOL LEADERS ARE ASKING
FOR HELP RIGHT NOW THIS BILL
WOULD ALSO INCREASE THE AMOUNT
OF THE STATE BEEN. THAT
CANDIDATES IN A TEACHER
RESIDENCY PROGRAM CAN WE SEE
CALIFORNIA'S FUNDING A REAL BUST
RESIDENCY PROGRAM OF WORK. FOR
CANDIDATES WAS SENT WOULD BE IN
A TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM AND
GETTING MENTORING COACH WHILE
THEY DO THEIR- STUDENT TEACHING
AND THEY GET A STIPEND SO THEY
DON'T HAVE TO HOLD DOWN ANOTHER
JOB WHILE THEY ARE. FULL TIME
ENGAGED IN LEARNING AND DEALING
IN BEING COACH THE CHALLENGES IS
THAT THE TOTAL COST FOR SOME OF
THESE PROGRAMS. IS GREAT AND IN
SOME CASES EVEN THOUGH THE.
STATE PROVIDES A TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLAR A STRIKE BEEN IN
SOME CASES THE RESIDENT MADE BE
SEE A FEW THOUSAND IN THEY
STRUGGLE. AND WE HEAR FROM MANY
THAT- RESIDENTS DON'T STAY IN
THE PROGRAM BECAUSE IT CAN'T MAY
ENDS MEET IN CARE FOR THEM SO
AND IF. YOU'RE YOU'RE WORKING AS
JOB. IN TRYING TO MEET DEMANDS
THE PROBE. AND SO SB SEVEN SIX
FIVE WOULD INCREASE THE AMOUNT
OF THE STIPEND FOR RESIDENTS AND
WOULD CREATE A WAIVER SO THAT
RETIRED TEACHERS CAN CONTINUE A
TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM. AND
SO ALL THESE THINGS WE OFFER TO
SUPPORT OUR TEACHER RECRUITMENT-
TO HELP US RECRUIT DIVERSE
CANDIDATES WE'RE VERY PLEASED
THAT. CALIFORNIA OFFERS- AND
WARD WINNING- CERTIFICATION
NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION-
THAT- CALIFORNIA MEANS YOU CAN
ALSO GET A STIPEND- TO PURSUE
THIS AND WE'VE SEEN A DRAMATIC
INCREASE- OUR OFFICE IS
ADMINISTERING THAT PROGRAM IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL
BOARD CERTIFICATION PROGRAM. IN
WE'VE SEEN THE APPLICATION'S
GOING ONE YEAR FROM FOUR HUNDRED
FIFTEEN SO MORE THAN SEVENTEEN
HUNDRED- SOME 63% OF THOSE ARE
CANDIDATES OF COLOR- REPLYING
FOR THIS INCREDIBLE
CERTIFICATION. ALSO UP THERE-
CHAIRS AND- AND SENATOR. AND I'M
HAVING ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT
YOU ONLY HAVE ABOUT OUR EFFORTS
THE DEPARTMENT EDUCATION
APPRECIATE THANK THANK YOU MISS
MINTON SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA SAY
QUITE TILL THE DAY AFTER THE
COULD. OF ALL FOR. PANELISTS SO
IF YOU CAN STAY ON IF NOT- RENO
DO APPRECIATE YOUR TESTIMONY.
RIGHT NEXT UP WE HAVE A MISSED.
BARREAU CHAU PRINCE WILL IN
POLICY IN FROM THE LIVE AND
OFFICE. WELCOME. AND SORRY ABOUT
THE. HELLO IT'S MUCH MORE
THEATRICAL. RIGHT NOW I AM
MAKING THE GLASS BUTTON. OKAY
WELL HI. I'M NAME'S JACKIE
BRAZIL ALLEGED PANEL OFFICE. WE
WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE SOME
OVERVIEW COMMENTS ON- EXISTING
TEACHER WORKFORCE ISSUES AND
THEN ALSO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW.
OF RECENT STATE INVESTMENTS MADE
TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES- IN YOUR
PACKETS THERE SHOULD BE A HAND
OUT AND WE HAVE SOME OUTSIDE FOR
ON THE AUDIENCE SO JUST STARTING
ON PAGE ONE. I'M WE JUST
SUMMARIZE A FEW OF THE TEACHER
WORKFORCE ISSUES- THAT HAVE COME
UP RECENTLY I'M FIRST AS AN
INCREASE IN SHORT TERM DEMAND
FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS IS
DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I'M WE
EXPECT TO SEE IN THE NEXT FEW
YEARS. THIS IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN
BY INCREASES- R. AS THE STATE
WORKS TO EXPAND TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN TO INCLUDE ALL FOUR
YEAR OLDS BUT THEN ALSO STATE
EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
OF CHILD CARE SLOTS. I'M IN THE
SECOND SET OF ISSUES THAT WE'VE
IDENTIFIED INCLUDE JUST THE LONG
STANDING EXPERIENCES OF TEACHER
SHORTAGES IN CERTAIN SUBJECT
AREAS I'M IN GENERAL EVERY YEAR
LIST OF SHORTAGE AREAS IS
RELEASED- FOR EVERY STATE AND AS
YOU CAN SEE IN THE TABLE BELOW
THE MOST COMMON SHORTAGE AREAS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
INCLUDES SCIENCE BILINGUAL
EDUCATION SPECIAL EDUCATION AND
MATH. AND THE TABLE BELOW JUST
SHOWS OVER THIRTY ONE YEAR
PERIOD- THE NUMBER OF YEARS IN
WHICH EACH OF THESE SUBJECT
AREAS WAS IDENTIFIED AS A
SHORTAGE ISSUE RANGING FROM
TWENTY ONE YEARS IN THE CASE OF
MATHEMATICS TO TWENTY NINE YEARS
OUT OF THE THIRTY ONE YEARS. IN
THE CASE OF SCIENCE- IN TERMS OF
THE A REASONS BEHIND THE
SHORTAGE AREAS THE REASONS VERY
IT COULD BE IT A MATTER OF ON
COMPETITIVE STARTING SALARIES.
BUT THEN ALSO IT COULD BE THAT
SIR- SOME OF THESE SUBJECT AREAS
PERHAPS THERE SIR AND- JOB
CHALLENGES RELATED TO JUST
STUDENT NEEDS- BUT AGAIN THE
UNDERLYING- DIFFICULTIES REALLY
DO VERY BY THE SUBJECT AREA.
MOVING ON TO PAGE TWO OF THE
HANDOUT AND WE ALSO SEE THAT
THERE ARE LONGSTANDING TEACHER
SHORTAGES WHEN IT COMES TO
CERTAIN TYPES OF SCHOOLS AS
WELL. NATIONAL DATA SHOWS THAT-
CERTAIN SCHOOLS JUST REQUIRE
MORE TIME TO FILL VACANCIES AND
THOSE SCHOOLS INCLUDE- CENTRAL
CITY SCHOOLS LOW INCOME SCHOOLS
BUT THEN ALSO SCHOOLS IN RULE
AREAS. ADDITIONALLY STUDIES SHOW
THAT THE PROPORTION OF
UNDERPREPARED AND AN EXPERIENCED
TEACHERS MEANING TEACHERS THAT
HAVE EMERGENCY PERMITS I'M TEND
TO BE HIGHER IN LOW MINORITY
HIGH POVERTY SCHOOLS THEN- HI
MINORITY LOW POVERTY SCHOOLS
THAN LOW MINORITY LOW POVERTY
SCHOOLS. LASTLY ANOTHER I'M
TEACHER WORKFORCE ISSUE IS
TEACHER TURNOVER SO FACTORS THAT
CONTRIBUTE TO TEACHER TURNOVER
INCLUDE TEACHERS LEAVING THE
PROFESSION EITHER TEMPORARILY OR
PERMANENTLY. SWITCHING SCHOOLS
ARE RETIRING I'M SO STUDIES SHOW
THAT- YOUNGER TEACHERS. ARE ARE
THOSE WITH LESS EXPERIENCE- ARE
MORE LIKELY TO SWITCH I AM
TEACHING POSTER LEAVE THE
PROFESSION BUT THEN ALSO RATES
OF TURNOVER TEND TO BE HIGHEST
AMONG. SPECIAL EDUCATION
TEACHERS THERE'S ALSO VARIATION
IN TEACHER TURNOVER RATES WHEN
IT COMES TO THE TYPE OF SCHOOLS
SO SPECIFICALLY RESEARCH SITES-
OUR RESEARCH FINDS THAT THERE
ARE RELATIVELY HIGHER TURNOVER
RATES FOR SCHOOLS- THAT HAVE HI
ARE THAT THAT ARE LOW IN THE
HAVE A HIGH PROPORTION OF LOW
INCOME STUDENTS. MINORITY
STUDENTS BUT THEN ALSO SCHOOLS
AND URBAN AND SUBURBAN AREA. ON
PAGE THREE OF THE HAND WE
PROVIDE A SUMMARY TABLE ON THAT
SHOWS THAT SINCE TWENTY SIXTEEN
SEVENTEEN THE STATE- HAS
PROVIDED. ABOUT ONE POINT SIX
BILLION DOLLARS AND PROGRAMS-
TARGET A MEANT TO ADDRESS THE
VARIOUS TEACHER SHORTAGE ISSUES
THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED
SPECIFICALLY ATTEMPTS TO REDUCE
TURNOVER IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF
TEACHING I'M INCREASE TEACHER
SUPPLY AND THEN ALSO ADDRESS
LONG STANDING SHORTAGE ISSUES IN
CERTAIN SUBJECT AREAS AND
CERTAIN TYPES OF SCHOOLS. THE
TWO BIGGEST PROGRAMS THAT I'LL
JUST HIGHLIGHT INCLUDE THE
TEACHER RESIDENTS RESIDENCY
GRANT PROGRAM IN WHICH THE STATE
THUS FAR HAS ALLOCATED RM SIX
HUNDRED FIFTY ONE MILLION
DOLLARS. AND THEN ALSO THE
GOLDEN STATE TEACHER GRANT
PROGRAM WHICH THE STATE AND HAS
PROVIDED A LOT OF OVER FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
TABLE ALSO NOTES THE AMOUNT OF
FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN AWARDED
FOR EACH. PROGRAMS AND AS YOU'LL
SEE ON PAGE FOUR OF THE ONE
POINT SIX BILLION ONLY ABOUT SIX
HUNDRED MILLION HAS BEEN AWARDED
THUS FAR AND THERE ARE MANY
REASONS FOR THIS I THINK THE
BIGGEST REASON IS BECAUSE MANY
OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE MULTI
YEAR. INVESTMENTS FOR EXAMPLE
THE GOLDEN STATE TEACHER GRANT
PROGRAM THAT PROGRAM IS INTENDED
I'M TO GO AS FAR AS TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE. I'M SAID THAT'S THE
REASON WHY NOT ALL DOLLARS HAVE
GONE OUT THE DOOR IT'S JUST A
MATTER OF HOW THE PROGRAM IS
DESIGNED. FOR ON THE LAST PAGE
HIGHLIGHT I'M RECENT STATEWIDE
EFFORT- TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS
INTERESTED IN THE TEACHING
PROFESSION SO IN ADDITION TO THE
ONE STOP SHOP THAT WAS MENTIONED
BY THE SUPERINTENDENT BERMAN- I
JUST ALSO WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT
THAT- THE STATE CURRENTLY RUNS
THE CALIFORNIA CENTER ON
TEACHING CAREERS. I'M PROGRAM
WHICH WAS AND- IN EFFECT IN
NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN IN TWO
THOUSAND TWO BUT IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN REESTABLISHED-
THIS CENTER- AS AN ATTEMPT TO
RECRUIT QUALIFIED AND CAPABLE.
INDIVIDUALS INTO THE TEACHING
FIELD PARTICULARLY IN LOW INCOME
SCHOOLS AND IN THOSE- SUBJECT
AREA SHORTAGES. AND I'M JUST
LAST YEAR IN THE BUDGET WE
FUNDED EIGHT CAREER COUNSELORS
AT THE COMMISSION. ON TEACHING
CREDENTIALING TO PROVIDE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR
PROSPECTIVE EDUCATORS AND AB ONE
POSITION TO DEVELOP A NEW
TEACHER RECRUITMENT WEB PORTAL.
SO THE FACT THAT CONCLUDES MY
REMARKS AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE
ANY QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE
PANEL. THANK YOU MISS PERU CHAU.
SO YOU DID THAT EXPECT
EXCEPTIONAL STANDING UP NEXT
TIME I HAVE TO DO IS STANDING UP
ON A BUS TO SEE. YOU CAN HANDLE
SITUATION IMPOSSIBLE YEAH PRE-
NEXT UP WE HAVE KINNEY WHO IS
CHIEF OF STAFF AND A- OF ST PAUL
FOR THE LEARNING POLICY
INSTITUTE. WELCOME ISCHEMIC.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME
TODAY- TARA KENNY WITH THE
LEARNING POLICY INSTITUTE ALSO
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS LPI
HAS BEEN STUDYING TEACHER SUPPLY
AND DEMAND BOTH IN CALIFORNIA
AND NATIONALLY- SO TODAY I'M
GONNA GIVE YOU A LITTLE SNAPSHOT
OF WHERE WE SEE CALIFORNIA'S
TEACHER WORKFORCE TODAY. I'D
LIKE TO START FIRST WITH WHY
THIS TOPIC MATTERS FIRST AND
FOREMOST FOR STUDENT LEARNING
PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE ENORMOUS
CHALLENGES WERE FACING AND
SUPPORTING STUDENTS LEARNING
RECOVERY. WE KNOW THAT TEACHER
CERTIFICATION. EXPERIENCE
INSTABILITY MATTER FOR STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT RESEARCH CONDUCTED
BY LPI SHOWS THAT CALIFORNIA
DISTRICTS WITH MORE FULLY
CREDENTIALED AND EXPERIENCED
TEACHERS HAD BETTER STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT. THIS IS
PARTICULARLY TRUE FOR BLACK AND
LATINO STUDENTS. RESEARCH ALSO
INDICATES THAT TEACHERS WITHOUT
FULL PREPARATION LEAVE AT FAR
HIGHER RATES THAN FULLY PREPARED
TEACHERS WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO
SHORTAGES I'M REALLY UNDERMINE
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS.
FINALLY THIS IS A CORE EQUITY
ISSUE AS WE JUST HEARD FROM THE
ELIO BECAUSE THESE
CHARACTERISTICS OF TEACHERS ARE
AN EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED. THE
NEXT I'D LIKE TO DESCRIBE HOW
TEACHER SHORTAGES HAVE LOOKED IN
CALIFORNIA OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
YEARS I'M A PICTURE THAT'S BOTH
DEEPLY CONCERNING BUT I ALSO
THINK HAS SOME. SOME HOPE IN IT.
IS A KEY INDICATOR OF SHORTAGES
AS THE NUMBER OF SUB STANDARD
CREDENTIALS AND PERMITS THAT ARE
ISSUED. THESE TRIPLED BETWEEN
TWENTY TWELVE AND TWENTY
EIGHTEEN WITH THE GREATEST
INCREASES AND THE NUMBERS OF OUR
MERCHANTS HE STYLE PERMITS AND
WAIVERS WHICH ARE THOSE ISSUED
TO THE LEAST PREPARED TEACHERS.
WHO MAY NOT HAVE DEMONSTRATED
SUBJECT MATTER COMPETENCY AND
MAY NOT EVEN BE IN A TEACHER
PREPARATION PROGRAM. BUT THE
GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE'RE SEEING
THIS TREND TO BEGIN TO TURN THE
NUMBER OF FULLY PREPARED NEW
ENTRANTS IS INCREASING WHICH YOU
CAN SEE IN THE- PAPER- THAT I
SHARED IN THAT I THINK IS IN
THE- WELL THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS.
STYLE PERMITS IS SHRINKING. ARE
THERE ARE A FEW FACTORS THAT
COULD BE AT PLAY HERE FIRST THE
STATE'S CONSIDERABLE INVESTMENTS
AND THE TEACHER WORKFORCE SINCE
TWENTY SIXTEEN. MAY BE BEGINNING
TO PAY OFF. SECOND THE PANDEMIC
ERA WAIVERS OF TEACHER TESTING
REQUIREMENTS MAY HAVE MADE A
DIFFERENCE HERE AND OF COURSE
THE MOST RECENT INVESTMENTS- THE
BIGGEST INVESTMENTS MADE SINCE
TWENTY TWENTY ONE. AREN'T EVEN
SHOWING UP IN THE DATA YET I'M
DUE TO DATA LAGS IN THE NATURAL
LENGTH OF IMPLEMENTATION OF
THESE PROGRAMS- BUT DESPITE THIS
SOMEWHAT PROMISING NEWS WE STILL
HAVE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF NEW
TEACHERS COMING IN ON SUB
STANDARD CREDENTIALS AND
PERMITS. WELL OVER ONE THIRD OF
NEW TEACHERS AND TWENTY TWENTY
ONE- AND THIS OF COURSE HAS
SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT AND EQUITABLE ACCESS
TO OPPORTUNITIES. AND IN
ADDITION TO THESE TEACHER
SHORTAGES ABOUT 90% OF DISTRICTS
SURVEYED BY CSPA LAST MARCH
REPORTED SHORTAGES OF PARA
PROFESSIONALS AND COUNSELORS
PSYCHOLOGISTS AND SOCIAL WORKERS
. OF COURSE SHORTAGES DON'T
IMPACT ALL DISTRICTS EQUALLY AND
IN GENERAL DISTRICTS SERVING
MORE STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME
FAMILIES HAVE HIGHER TURNOVER
RATES. THEY HIRE MORE NEW AND
BEGINNING TEACHERS AND THEY
OFTEN HIRE MORE TEACHERS ON SUB
STANDARD CREDENTIALS AND
PERMITS. BUT THESE OF COURSE ARE
THE STUDENTS MOST IN NEED OF A
STRONG AND STABLE EDUCATOR WORK
FORCE TO SUPPORT THEIR LEARNING
RECOVERY. WHEN THE PAST COUPLE
OF YEARS WE HEARD ABOUT THE
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS THAT
CALIFORNIA'S NEED IN ITS
EDUCATOR WORK FORCE INCLUDING
TEACHER RESIDENCIES THE GOLDEN
STATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. THE
CLASSIFIED STAFF PROGRAM AND
MORE- THERE'S EVIDENCE THAT THAT
THESE PROGRAMS ARE BEGINNING TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE STUDY I
SHARED FROM LPI SHOWS THAT THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLETING
TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS IN
CALIFORNIA IS INCREASING.
BETWEEN TWENTY SEVENTEEN AND
TWENTY TWENTY ONE THE NUMBER OF
CALIFORNIA COMPLETE OR IS
APPLYING FOR PRELIMINARY
CREDENTIALS IS UP THIRTY SEVEN
PERCENT. ANOTHER PROMISING TREND
IS THAT THE POOL OF COMPUTERS
HAS BECOME MORE RACIALLY AND
ETHNICALLY DIVERSE BASED ON
SURVEY DATA MORE THAN HALF OF
RESPONDENTS APPLYING FOR THEIR
PRELIMINARY CREDENTIAL IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE WE'RE TEACHERS OF
COLOR WITH THE GREATEST GROWTH
AMONG LATIN NEXT TEACHERS WHICH
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SEE ON THAT.
THE SLIDE DECK THAT I SHARED.
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS NOW PREPARE
AMONG ABOUT ONE IN TEN
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS AS OF TWENTY
TWENTY ONE AND ABOUT 60% OF
RESIDENTS INCOMPLETE OURS ARE
TEACHERS OF COLOR. COMPLETE
ERRORS OF THESE PATHWAYS
REPORTED THEMSELVES AS FEELING
AMONGST THE MOST PREPARED ON C.
T. C. IS COMPLETE OR SURVEY.
EARLY DATA ALSO SUGGEST THAT
RESIDENTS HAVE HIGH RETENTION
RATES AMONG THE FIRST COHORT OF
STATE GRANT FUNDED RESIDENTS IN
20192091% COMPLETED THEIR
PROGRAM AND WERE HIRED IN 88%
WERE STILL TEACHING. TWO YEARS
AFTER GRADUATING AND THESE DATA
ARE CONSISTENT WITH WITH
RESEARCH. ON RESIDENCIES
NATIONALLY. SO BASED ON WHAT
I'VE SHARED IT APPEARS WE'RE
APPROACHING A POINT WHERE THE
RECENT INVESTMENTS ARE REALLY
STARTING TO KICK IN AND THEY CAN
HELP US CLOSE THE GAP WE HAVE AN
ACCESS TO FULLY PREPARE
TEACHERS. ON THE RECRUITMENT
SIDE WE THINK IT WILL BE
CRITICAL TO STAY THE COURSE AND
FOCUS ON STRONG IMPLEMENTATION
OF THESE PROGRAMS REALLY GIVING
THEM A CHANCE TO TAKE HOLD AND
MATURE. THE STATE MIGHT ALSO
CONSIDER A MORE ROBUST STATE
RECRUITMENT AND COMMUNICATION
STRATEGY HEALTH DENTAL TEACHER
CANDIDATES UNDERSTAND THE FULL
ARRAY OF FINANCIAL SUPPORTS
AVAILABLE TO THEM. AS WELL AS
THE DIFFERENT PATHWAYS INTO
TEACHING HIGHER READ CAPACITY
BUILDING IS ALSO CRITICAL
ESPECIALLY IN SPECIAL EDUCATION
AND P. THREE PROGRAMS AS WE
IMPLEMENT UNIVERSAL PRE K. ON
THE RETENTION SIDE WE THINK-
IT'S IMPORTANT TO. CONSIDER
COMPENSATION WHICH WE KNOW FROM
THE RESEARCH REALLY MATTERS FOR
RETENTION THE GOLDEN STATE GRANT
PROGRAM HELPS TO ADDRESS
AFFORDABILITY FOR NEW RECRUITS
BUT A DECISIONAL STEPS COULD BE
TAKEN FOR THE EXISTING TEACHER
WORK FOR SUCH AS THE STATE.
TEACHER LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM
WE HEARD FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND
SUCCESSFUL UPTAKE OF THE
NATIONAL BOARD INCENTIVE PROGRAM
FOR THE EXISTING TEACHERS WHICH
IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT RETENTION
STRATEGY. ESPECIALLY FOR OUR
MOST EXPERT TEACHERS- IN HIGH.
POVERTY SCHOOLS. AND FINALLY I'M
COMPENSATION IS LARGELY A LOCAL
MATTER SO LCF INVESTMENTS THAT
SUPPORT WAGES AND WORKING
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
FOUNDATIONAL THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME AND I WILL. ANSWER
QUESTIONS WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY TO
THE NEXT THE FINAL PANELIST ON
THE FIRST PANEL MARY DIXIE
SHANDY WHO IS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSION ON
TEACHER. CREDENTIALING WELCOME.
THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING
MEMBERS- AS WE CONSIDER HOW BEST
TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN. OUR
TEACHING WORK FORCE. GENERATIONS
RESEARCH MAY SHED SOME LIGHT ON
WHAT MOTIVATES DIFFERENT
COHORTS- IN OUR POPULATION.
MILLENNIALS WERE BORN BETWEEN
NINETEEN EIGHTY ONE AND NINETEEN
NINETY SIX AND ARE CURRENTLY AGE
TWENTY SEVEN TO FORTY TWO.
GENERATION Z. ALSO CALLED GEN Z.
OR SWIMMERS WERE BORN BETWEEN
NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN TO TWENTY
TWELVE AND ARE CURRENTLY AGE
THIRTEEN THROUGH TWENTY SIX. A
REPORT FROM THE A&E CASEY
FOUNDATION BASED ON STATISTICS
COMPILED BY THE PEW RESEARCH
CENTER TELLS US THAT MILLENNIALS
ARE MORE SOCIALLY ENGAGED. THAN
GEN Z. WHO TENDS TO BE MORE
INDIVIDUALLY MOTIVATED.
MILLENNIALS TENDED A USED MORE
LIMITED TECHNOLOGY IS CHILDREN
THAN GEN Z. WHO USED MORE
ADVANCED ON THE GO TECHNOLOGY.
THINK DESKTOP COMPUTERS AND FLIP
PHONES PURSES IPHONES AND PADS.
MILLENNIALS RELY GLOBE CONNECT
IDEA AGE WHILE CHEN ZERO MORE
GLOBALLY CONNECTED. MILLENNIALS
EXPERIENCED A STRONG ECONOMY
WELL GEN Z. EXPERIENCED THE
GREAT RECESSION WHILE YOUNG.
MILLENNIALS TENDED TO BE COLLEGE
GOING AND DEBT ACCUMULATING WELL
GEN Z. ARE CONSIDERING COLLEGE
IN MORE DEBT AWARE. MILLENNIALS
ARE LESS FOCUSED THAN GEN Z. ON
SOCIAL JUSTICE MILLENNIALS TEND
TO BE OPTIMISTIC WILL GEN Z.
TENDS TOWARD THE MORE PRAGMATIC
IN THEIR ORIENTATION.
MILLENNIALS HAVE BEEN OUR TARGET
GROUP FOR THE LAST TWENTY YEARS
FOR TEACHER RECRUITMENT AND GEN
Z. WILL BE OUR TARGET GROUP FOR
AT LEAST THE NEXT DECADE. WHAT
ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT GEN Z.
THAT MIGHT IMPACT HOW WE REACH
THEM AND INVITE THEM INTO THE
TEACHING PROFESSION. DIVERSITY
IS THEIR NORM. GEN Z. WHO WILL
BE THE LAST GENERATION THAT IS
PREDOMINANTLY WHITE. 52% OF
ZIMMER'S ARE WHITE 25% OR LATIN
ACTS. 14% ARE BLACK AND 4% OR
ASIAN. FOR MANY THEIR EARLY
YEARS INCLUDED THE COUNTRY'S
FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT AND
LEGALIZATION OF GAY MARRIAGE.
MORE LIKELY TO HAVE GROWN UP
THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE
GROWN UP AMID DIVERSE FAMILY
STRUCTURES AND AS A RESULT
THEY'RE LESS PHASED IN PREVIOUS
GENERATIONS BY DIFFERENCES IN
RACE SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR
RELIGION. AND THEY'RE MORE
MOTIVATED BY SOCIAL JUSTICE. SO
WHAT PATHWAYS ARE AVAILABLE FOR
THIS PERSPECTIVE GROUP OF FUTURE
TEACHERS ON WHAT IS GOING TO
DRAW THEM IN. THE STATE HAS
INVESTED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THREE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROGRAMS OVER
THE LAST FIVE YEARS TO RECRUIT
AND PREPARE TEACHERS. FIRST
THERE WERE SOME OF THE LOCAL
SOLUTION GRANTS WHICH GAVE LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES CHOICE ABOUT
HOW THEY USE RECRUITMENT FUNDS
TO BRING TEACHERS IN. THE SECOND
AREA OF FUNDING HAD TO DO WITH
TARGETED SUPPORT AND INCENTIVE
PROGRAMS THE CLASSIFIED SCHOOL
EMPLOYEE TEACHER GRANT PROGRAM
AND THE GOLDEN STATE TEACHER
GRANT PROGRAM OR BOTH- TYPES OF
INCENTIVES THAT BROUGHT TYPES OF
POPULATIONS IN. BUILDING OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE WAS THE THIRD
TYPE OF FUNDING INVESTMENT THAT
WE'VE MADE WITH GRANTS FOR
UNDERGRADUATE TEACHER
PREPARATION AND TEACHER
RESIDENCIES. COLLECTIVELY THESE
INVESTMENTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO BRING FIFTY THOUSAND TEACHERS
IN. TO THE TEACHING OF
PROFESSION AND HELP THE STATE TO
MEET ITS OBLIGATION TO ENSURE
THAT WE HAVE AN ADEQUATE
TEACHING WORK FORCE TO STAFF OUR
SCHOOLS. ESTARÁ CAN YOU JUST
HIGHLIGHTED UT KA ARE PRESENTS
BOTH A CHALLENGE AND- IN TERMS
OF TEACHER SHORTAGES BUT ALSO A
SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY. THE
COMMISSION IS WORKING ON MANY
FRONTS AS LOUD AS ALL WE ALL ARE
TO RECRUIT AND PREPARE A COURT
OF TEACHERS TO WORK EFFECTIVELY
IN TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
CLASSROOMS AS WE BRING THOSE. ON
BOARD THE COMMISSION LAST YEAR
CREATED A NEW PRESCHOOL THROUGH
GRADE THREE EARLY CHILDHOOD
SPECIALIST CREDENTIAL. I IN
PREPARATION PROGRAMS ARE
BEGINNING TO ORGANIZE TO DEVELOP
PATHWAYS TO THIS CREDENTIAL.
ADDITIONAL GRANT FUNDING TO
BUILD UNDERGRADUATE PATHWAYS TO
THIS POTENTIAL IS STILL
AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT THIS WORK.
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE TO
BUILD IN A WORLD CLASS CORPS OF
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS WHO
ARE SECOND TO NONE. THIS WILL BE
GET BE A GAME CHANGER FOR OUR
EARLIEST LEARNERS AND WE HOPE
PUT THEM ON A TRAJECTORY THAT IS
VERY DIFFERENT. THAN PRIOR
GENERATIONS OF EXPERIENCE. WHERE
WILL THESE TEACHERS COME FROM.
THE CURRENT EARLY LEARNING WORK
FORCES BOTH EXPERIENCED IN
HANDED MANY CASES VERY WELL
PREPARED TO MOVE INTO
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN. THEY
BRING DIVERSITY THEY BRING DEEP
ROOTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND
THEY BRING EXPERTISE WITH OUR
YOUNGEST LEARNERS. THE CENTER
FOR THE STUDY OF CHILD CARE
EMPLOYMENT AT UC BERKELEY IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE FOUND THAT 49%
OF CALIFORNIA'S THIRTY THOUSAND
PLUS. EARLY CHILDHOOD WORKFORCE
HOLD A BACCALAUREATE DEGREE OR
HIGHER AND ABOUT HALF OF THEM
HOLDS A DEGREE IN EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION OR CHILD
DEVELOPMENT. 75% OF EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TEACHERS
WITH A DEGREE ALSO HOLD A CHILD
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT A TEACHING
PERMIT CREATING A PATHWAY FOR
THEM INTO THE PRE K. THREE
CREDENTIALS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY
FOR US. THE CURRENT CAREER
LADDER FOR THE EARLY LEARNING
WORKFORCE HAS ENABLED A BROAD
AND DIVERSE POPULATION OF EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS. TO EARN A
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND
THEN TO THE PRESCHOOL WORK FORCE
THERE ARE MORE MILLENNIALS IN
THAT COMMUNITY THEN THERE ARE
GEN Z. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO EXPAND THIS LETTER INTO THE
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
THROUGH GRADE THREE SPACE. FOR
THOSE WHO SEEK TO EARN THE NEW
CREDENTIAL. A CAREER LADDERS
APPROACH DRAWING PEOPLE FROM A
VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS IN
WHICH THEY'RE WORKING IN THE
EARLY CHILDHOOD WORKFORCE WILL
ALSO BE A REALLY IMPORTANT
FEATURE AS WE LOOK TO FILL.
THOSE POSITIONS MOVING FORWARD.
THE STAFFING MODEL FOR
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN A
REQUIRES THAT THERE BE A SECOND
ADULT IN THE CLASSROOM TO
MAINTAIN A TWELVE TO ONE OR TEN
TO ONE RATIO. THE TEACHER
RESIDENCY PROGRAM PROVIDES A
NATURAL OPPORTUNITY TO PLACE A
SECOND ADULT IN TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN. WHO IS IN
PREPARATION TO BECOME A TEACHER
THIS IS A WAY FOR US TO REALLY
GROW OUR WORK FORCE WHILE
STAFFING OUR SCHOOLS IN THE WAYS
THAT WE NEED TO. APPRENTICESHIPS
AND CLASSIFIED GRANTS PROVIDE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO RECRUIT AND
DEVELOP THE EARLY LEARNING WORK
FOR SAID BOTH T. K. AND OF TO
PRESCHOOL LEVELS. SO IF WE'RE
SUCCESSFUL IN RECRUITING THE
TEACHERS THAT WE NEED HOW WILL
WE KEEP THEM. SALARIES AND
WORKING CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE
TO BE OF PARAMOUNT INTEREST AND
CONCERN. WE NEED TO PAY TEACHERS
A WORTHY WAGE. WE NEED TO BUILD
COMMUNITY GROUNDED IN PURPOSE
FOR THEM TO WORK AND THEY NEED
TO WORK IN AN- EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS
SO BUILDING STRONG SCHOOLS IS A
VERY IMPORTANT PART OF CREATING
WORKING CONDITIONS. A WITH
EFFECTIVE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
TEACHERS TEND TO STAY IN
EFFECTIVE WORKING HERMANCE WE
TEND TO LEAVE AS QUICKLY AS THEY
CAN FROM VERY DYSFUNCTIONAL
WORKING ENVIRONMENTS. WE SHOULD
NOT HIRE TEACHERS UNTIL WE HAVE
PREPARED THEM. IN THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS WITH COLD FOOD
WE HAVE SEEN SO MUCH CHAOS
REALLY EVERY STUDENT TEACHER WHO
WAS PLACE. DURING THE RE OPENING
OF SCHOOLS AFTER THE PANDEMIC
WAS PLACED IN SUBSTITUTE
TEACHING ROLES IN EMERGENCY
ROLES PLACES TEACHERS OF RECORD.
BEFORE THEY WERE REALLY READY TO
BEGIN. IF WE LET THEM GET THEIR
PREPARATION BEFORE WE EMPLOY
THEM WE HAVE A MUCH STRONGER.
CHANCE OF KEEPING THEM IN THE
TEACHING WORKFORCE WHICH IS WHAT
WE REALLY NEED TO DO. FINALLY WE
NEED TO MANAGE OUR EXPECTATIONS
GEN Z. IS DIFFERENT THAN OUR
PRIOR GENERATIONS OF TEACHERS
THAT WE'VE RECRUITED INTO
TEACHING. THEY MAY NOT BE IN FOR
THIRTY YEAR CAREERS SO WE NEED
TO THINK ABOUT WHAT OUR MODELS
ARE FOR PROJECTING. THE WORK
FORCE WE NEED IN RECRUITING AND
PREPARING THEM. ACCORDINGLY SO
THANK YOU I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS AT THE APPROPRIATE
TIME. AND THANK YOU MISS CINDY
FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. SO ARE WE
ARE WE WE'RE NOW GOING TO.
PROVIDE QUESTIONS TO THE
PANELISTS I I'M GONNA START. OF
OPEN UP TO. MY FELLOW. MEMBERS
HERE. FIRST FOR A FOR ANYBODY IN
AND THAT BE PARTICULAR
INTERESTED IN THE NONSTATE
PARTICIPANTS. TO SHOW ED WHEN WE
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT WORKFORCE
COMPENSATION AND CONDITIONS SUCH
AS CLASS SIZES. ARE GENERALLY
BARGAINED FOR AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL. HOW AND ESPECIALLY
CONSIDERING ALL OF THE
INVESTMENTS WE'VE MADE- WHICH
HAVE BEEN REFERENCE TODAY HOW
HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE
STATE OPTIMAL ROLE. AGAINST THAT
BACKDROP IN RECRUITING AND
RETAINING HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS
. IF ANY ANYBODY SO YES PLEASE.
MS COMMITTEE- THANKS FOR THAT
REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION- WHAT
I WOULD SAY TO THE STATE'S ROLE
THERE IS. YOU KNOW DISTRICTS CAN
DO A LOT- IN IN. PARTNERSHIP
WITH THEIR EDUCATION. PROGRAM
PARTNERS TO BUILD A STRONG LOCAL
TEACHER PIPELINES. BUT THE STATE
HAS THE PARAMOUNT ROLE THERE
BECAUSE DISTRICTS WILL POACH
FROM EACH OTHER AND THAT LEADS
TO SO MUCH OF THE INEQUITIES
THAT WE SEE IF THE DISTRICT DOWN
THE ROAD CAN OFFER A HIGHER
SALARY YOU MAY AS SCHOOL
DISTRICT PREPARE- AND INVEST IN.
PREPARING TEACHERS PREPARING A
WORKFORCE GROWING YOUR OWN I'M
ONLY TO SEE THOSE TEACHERS YOU
KNOW- POACHED AWAY BY HIGHER
RESOURCE DISTRICTS THE STATE I
THINK HAS THE ULTIMATE ROLE TO
ENSURE THERE'S AN ADEQUATE
SUPPLY OF FULLY PREPARED
TEACHERS- TO TEACH ALL STUDENTS
IN THE STATE. BECAUSE WITH THAT
WE KNOW IT THAT'S SO A CRITICAL
FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT SO THAT
WOULD BE MY ANSWER TO THEIR PRE
PREACHER TED TURNER LED. THANK
YOU R. ONE COMMENT AND THEN A
QUESTION IN THE COMMENT IS THAT.
A FEW TIMES THE GOLDEN STATE
EDUCATION AND TRAINING GRANT
PROGRAM WAS MENTIONED AND WE
HAVE A- HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE.
HEARING TOMORROW AND THAT IS
ITEM THREE ON OUR AGENDA SO WE
WILL BE HAVING A DISCUSSION
ABOUT THAT TOMORROW AND IT'S
GREAT THAT WE ARE BEING INFORMED
BY THIS DISCUSSION TODAY- I HAVE
A QUESTION UNDERSTAND THE
SUPERINTENDENT STILL ON THE LINE
AND MAYBE ALSO START WITH HIM.
AND IT'S A DIFFICULT QUESTION
AND THAT IS AS WE HEARD A
PRESENTATION ABOUT ALL THE
GENERATIONS. UP BUT THE ONE
GENERATION THAT DIDN'T GET
MENTIONED WAS THE BABY BOOMERS.
AND THAT IS RELEVANT BECAUSE
THEY ARE THE GENERATION THAT IS
RETIRING RIGHT NOW. AND MANY
TIMES. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT
MIGHT BE HIRING THEIR
SUCCESSORS. AND A LOT OF TIMES
PEOPLE HIRE PEOPLE THAT LOOK
LIKE THEM AND THAT IS A
DISPROPORTIONATE WE WIPED. OUR
GROUP OF PEOPLE. ARM ONE SO I
KNOW. A. N. AND SO THE QUESTION
IS ARE WE TAKING ANY STEPS TO
ENSURE. THAT IF THAT IS THE
DYNAMIC. ARE THERE'S PRESSURE TO
HAVE DIVERSE HIRES WAIT WHEN IT
MIGHT BE BOOMERS THAT ARE HIRING
ON THEIR WAY OUT THE DOOR AND- I
KNOW THAT'S- THE REAL QUESTION
MISTER SUPERINTENDENT BUT I
THOUGHT. I'D START WITH YOU. AND
ASKING IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT.
THANK YOU THANK YOU CENTER-
HAPPY TO TAKE THE THEORY- THE
REALITY IS THAT THE THING TO THE
HELP THE LETTER. IN A
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE- A CALIFORNIA IS
PROVIDING A NUMBER OF GRANTS TO
SUPPORT IMPLICIT BIAS TRAINING-
THOSE- TRAINING PROGRAMS CAN
STRETCH ACROSS MANY DEPARTMENTS
AND DIVISIONS AT A SCHOOL
DISTRICT INCLUDING- HUMAN
RESOURCES AND RECRUITMENT-
HAVING SAID THAT I DO THINK THAT
YOUR YOUR QUESTION. OF
NECESSITATES A VERY INTENTIONAL
APPROACH TO HOW WE OF FOCUS ON.
I AM GRATEFUL JUST TO SAY THAT
IN THE RECRUITMENT FAIRS THAT WE
HAVE HELD WITH THE- CALIFORNIA
VOLUNTEERS. THOSE WHO ARE
RECRUITING- SOME MORE
TRADITIONAL RECRUITER SOME OUR
PRINCIPLES IN AT THE SCHOOL SITE
LEVEL- AND IT HAS BEEN A VERY
DIVERSE COALITION OF THOSE WHO
ARE DOING THEIR CRITICS THERE'S
CERTAINLY MORE WORK TO DO
THERE'S ONE OTHER THING THAT
DIDN'T GET MENTIONED TODAY AND I
THINK. PEOPLE HAVE APPRECIATED-
MISTER SEA SHANTIES- WANTING TO
THE GENERATIONAL SHIFT AND RIGHT
NOW A NUMBER OF OUR PROGRAMS IN
THE STATE ARE FOCUSED ON
BUILDING UP. YOUR OWN PROGRAMS
THAT FOCUS ON STUDENTS WHO ARE
IN SCHOOL NOW IN HELPING THEM TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A GREAT
PROFESSION FOR YOU. IN THE
FUTURE- THERE'S A PROGRAMS OUT
AND FRESNO THEY'VE DONE THIS IN
A VERY. HIGH LEVEL OF SUCCESS OR
PROGRAMS ALL ACROSS THE STATE-
WE USE OUR CAREER TECHNICAL
EDUCATION PATHWAYS TO HELP
STUDENTS UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE
FUTURE NOW THIS IS VERY LONG
TERM- AND SO WE HAVE A LOT OF
WORK TO DO- BUT THERE'S NO
QUESTION THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE
SURE WE ADDRESS DIVERSITY. IN
HOW WE RECRUIT NEW RECRUITS- AN
ADDRESS BY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE OPEN. TO ALL THE
CANDIDATES THAT WE MIGHT RECOUP
FROM. THANK. YOU I APPRECIATE
THAT. IN N. I WOULD JUST AS A AS
A PER. AND YOU HAVE TAKEN IT OUT
TO ANYBODY THAT'S- WITHIN THE
SOUND OF THIS HEARING THAT IS AN
IMPORTANT CONCERN. THEN MY OTHER
QUESTION AND I'M NOT SURE WHO TO
START WITH BUT- THAT MAYBE I'LL
START WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.
IS THERE WAS TALK ABOUT
RETENTION. AND THERE WAS TALK
ABOUT RECRUITMENT. BOUGHT A LOT
OF IT IS IN SPECIFIC SUBJECTS
AND THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO GET. A
MENTION S. N. AND MY QUESTION IS
OUR WHERE ACROSS THE STATE. OR
THE GAPS BY SPECIFIC SUBJECT IN
NEEDING TO RECRUIT AND HOW ARE
WE ADDRESSING THAT. IT WILL
SURPRISE YOU. THAT HISTORICALLY
THE GAPS HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST
IN SUBJECTS LIKE SCIENCE MATH
SPECIAL EDUCATION AND BILINGUAL
EDUCATION- YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT
DOUBLES THE KEY- HAS INCREDIBLE
DATA IT CAN SHARE IN MORE
DETAIL. WE TYPICALLY LOOK AT THE
GREAT DATA THAT WE GET. FROM THE
LEARNING POLICY INSTITUTE AND IT
REALLY DOES FOCUS ON OUR BIGGEST
CHALLENGES. AROUND ATTENTION OUR
COMPENSATION AND WORKING
CONDITIONS SOMETIMES WORKING
CONDITIONS MORE THAN-
COMPENSATION WHILE CONVERSATION
IS CRITICAL- BUT WE HAVE HEARD
FROM TEACHERS DURING THE
PANDEMIC WHO'VE BEEN ATTACKED.
THEY FEEL BLAMED- WHAT WAS
ALREADY A DIFFICULT PROFESSION
AT TIMES- BECAUSE DUE TO
SHORTAGES UNDERSTAFFING. HAS
JUST BEEN THOSE CONDITIONS HAVE
BEEN EXACERBATED AND- AND SO AS
YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TESTIMONY
OF EVERYONE WHO SPOKE TODAY ALL
THE INVESTMENTS BEING MADE BY
THE STATE THE GOLDEN STATE
TEACHER GRANT. THE RESIDENCY
PROGRAMS THEY ALL ARE
INTERWEAVING WAYS TO HELP
ATTRACT CANDIDATES WHO CAN
BECOME SPECIAL EDUCATION
TEACHERS WHO CAN BECOME
BILINGUAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND
TEACH IN SCIENCE AND MATH- AND
SO- BUT WE HAVE TO WORK ON THE
WORKING CONDITIONS IN
COMPENSATION SIMULTANEOUSLY- AND
IN THIS CASE IT THIS IS NOT JUST
A CALIFORNIA CHALLENGE. THIS IS
A NATION WIDE CHALLENGE AND SO-
WE'RE UP AGAINST IT BUT WE'RE
GOING TO MOUNT A CHALLENGE AND
APPLY PLACE TO BRING MORE GREAT
EDUCATORS TO OUR CLASSROOMS.
MMHM AND- HE- R. KNOW HOW TO
PHRASE THIS BUT BUT THERE ARE.
OUR PLACE WHERE THERE ARE. THERE
IS BETTER COMP. AND THERE IS
BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS AND
BELIEVE ME I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU
JUST SAID BECAUSE- I'VE BEEN
VISITING WITH TEACHERS JUST THE
LAST FEW WEEKS THROUGHOUT MY
DISTRICT AND SORT OF FEELING
UNDER ATTACK DURING THE PANDEMIC
WAS A THEME THAT CAME UP ALMOST
EVERY PLACE. THAT THAT I MET
WITH PEOPLE BUT- EVEN WHERE
THERE IS GOOD COMPENSATION THERE
ARE STILL GAPS IN SOME OF THE
SUBJECTS OR THERE'S IS THERE
SOMETHING WE'RE DOING OTHER THAN
COMPENSATION OR OUTRAGE WITH
REGARD TO EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS FOR. OUR OR JUST
DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS IN THESE
SUBJECTS THAT. AND THAT GOES
BEYOND THAT. I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT CALIFORNIA TAKES A VERY
THOUGHTFUL APPROACH AT IN OTHER
STATES- THEY'RE JUST SORT OF
SAYING WE'LL TAKE ANYONE TO
BECOME A TEACHER AND THAT'S I
THINK DOES A DISRESPECT. TO THE
PROFESSION AND DOES JUST RESPECT
TO THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS AND
AS YOU HEARD- FROM- ETHNICITY
BUSY SANDY A CALIFORNIA DOES
BETTER BECAUSE WE- PUSH TEACHERS
TO GETTING A CREDENTIAL. AND THE
DATA SHOWS THAT WHEN YOU GET A
CREDENTIAL YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO
STAY. IN SO- ALL OF THESE
PROGRAMS OR SAYING WE KNOW WHAT
WORKS WE HAVE TO STAY THE COURSE
WE ALSO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW
DO WE GET THE WORD OUT THERE TO
MORE. CANDIDATES AND SO- I THINK
CALIFORNIA IS GOING TO FARE
BETTER THAN MOST DAYS BECAUSE OF
THE THOUGHTFULNESS IN THE DESIGN
AROUND ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS HOW
THEY ALL CONNECT. THE GOLDEN
STATE TEACHER GRANT THE
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS RIDERSHIP PRE
TRAINING PROGRAMS THE BILL
JEROME TRAINING PROGRAMS AND SO
THERE'S A KIND OF THOUGHTFULNESS
BASED ON RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT
WORKS. OUT BUT WE'RE UP AGAINST
IT AND AS YOU SAID TEACHERS HAVE
FELT THE TAX. IN WE'VE GOT TO
GET PAST THE DAYS WHEN A TEACHER
CAN SAY. THAT I CAN MAKE MORE
MONEY WORKING AT COSTCO AND YOU
ALSO SEEN- THE SOCIAL MEDIA
POSTS. WHERE SOMEONE LEAVES THE
PROFESSION BECAUSE IT'S JUST
BEEN DIFFICULT WORK CLASSIFIED
STAFF. ARE UP WE GET JOBS IT
MIGHT PAY MORE IN A FAST FOOD
THEN YOU KNOW CLASSIFIED
POSITIONS WE KNOW IT TAKES THE
ENTIRE FAMILY OF EDUCATORS.
CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED
INITIATORS ALTOGETHER AND WE'VE
GOT TO FIND WAYS TO HELP OUR
DISTRICTS RAISE MONEY THE
QUESTION CAME UP AND I THINK
PART OF THE ANSWER IS THE
STATE'S ROLE. IS TO HELP
DISTRICTS GET PASSED THE ONE
TIME MONEY THEY HAVE LOTS OF ONE
TIME MONEY BUT DISTRICTS ARE
HESITANT. TO MAKE HIRES IF THEY
THINK THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO LAY
SOMEBODY OFF WHEN THAT ONE TIME
MONEY GOES AWAY SO TO THE DEGREE
THAT WE CAN HELP. DISTRICTS COME
UP WITH MORE PERMANENT WAYS TO
FUND THE WORK FORCE. OUR DISHES
AND BECOME MORE. COMPETITIVE AS
EMPLOYERS AND THEN MORE.
INCENTIVES BY THE ONE THE- HAS
FOR. AN INCENTIVE ASSEMBLY. TO
SUPPORT TEACHERS. WHO PURSUE THE
NASH BOARD CERTIFIED. CALIFORNIA
WOMAN RIGHT TO READ WE NEED TIME
AND WE NEED. MORE RESOURCES TO
GET THERE- BUT THE WORK IS
UNDERWAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND THANK YOU AND THANK YOU MR
FRATERNITY I DO APPRECIATE. YOUR
EMPHASIS ON ONE TIME MONIES
CENTERS FOCUS HAS A QUESTION.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND- I
WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON SOMETHING
THAT- THAT. THE CHAIR-
MENTIONED- EARLIER ABOUT WHAT
WHAT. UGH CAN WE DO- IN TERMS
OF- THE STATE'S ROLE IN THIS
PROCESS AND I WAS. IMPROPRIETIES
FOR THIS- HEARING I WAS TRYING
TO GET A SENSE OF. HOW LARGE THE
WORK FORCES AND YOU KNOW WHAT
ARE IS SENATOR EARLIER TALKED
ABOUT THE PARTICULAR SUBJECT
AREAS WHERE THERE ARE GAPS BUT-
NO WHERE ARE THEY TEACHER
SHORTAGES AND- I'M JUST CURIOUS
WHAT IS ARE THE CURRENT SIZE OF
THE EDUCATION- WORKFORCE AND- IS
THERE AS A SORT OF A- OF. A
PROCESS BY WHICH THE STATE IS
TRACKING. THAT SHORTAGE AND
PARTICULARLY AS IT YOU KNOW BY
THE SUBJECT AREAS BY- THOSE
EQUITY AND EQUITY POCKETS WHERE
WE HAVE LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES
AND WE ALSO- HAVE HIGH NUMBERS
OF ETHNIC AND RACIAL DIVERSITY.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A SENSE
OF WHAT IS THE WORK FORCE AND
HOW IS THE STATE ACTUALLY
TRACKING- THOSE NUMBERS. AND THE
CRISIS AND I GUESS FOR. FOR THE
SUPERINTENDENT BUT FOR ANY OF
THE PRESENTERS WHO. THANK YOU
SENATOR- AND I WILL INVITE-
EARNERS AT THE LEARNING POLICY
INSTITUTE. AT THE- CTC THIS YEAR
BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY HAVE- MORE
ACCURATE DATA ABOUT THE NUMBER
OF EDUCATORS THAT WE NEED. IN
EACH OF THE SUBJECT AREAS. YOU
HEARD REFERENCE TO THE NEED FOR-
WHAT'S MORE THAN ELEVEN THOUSAND
TEACHERS AROUND C. K. AND THEN
NEEDING A SECOND PERSON AN
ASSISTANT- EDUCATOR IN THE TKT
CLASS AND SO I'M CERTAIN THAT-
THERE ARE MORE- PRECISE NUMBERS
AND SUBJECT MATTER BUT-
GENERALLY YOU KNOW PEOPLE THINK
ABOUT OUR TEACHER SCIENCE RIGHT
NOW THE WORK FORCE BEING
SOMEWHERE UPWARDS OF. THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND IN MANY CASES-
BUT- I MEAN BY OUR PARTNERS TO
SHARE WITH YOU- PERHAPS THEY CAN
BUILD ON THE ANSWERED ABOUT. THE
NUMBER OF CLASSIFIED STAFF- THE
MINISTRY BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT
WE HAVE SEEN RETIREMENTS IN THIS
COUNTRY IN EDUCATION AT EVERY
LEVEL TEACHERS ARE CLASSIFIED
STAFF. AND ADMINISTRATORS ALL
HAVE BILL THE BRUNT OF- JUST THE
THANKS THAT HAS OUR EDUCATION
SYSTEM HAS THRUST INTO. LIKE
EVERY OTHER SECTOR THE LAST FEW
YEARS AND IT WILL TAKE THE
EFFORTS OF OUR DEPARTMENT IN THE
CTC AND OUR PARTNERS OF THE
LEARNING POLICY INSTITUTE IN THE
L. L. AND OTHERS CAN HELP BUT
ALSO- ACCENT ARE ASSOCIATION
MINISTRY. IN OUR CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION THE
TRIAGE TOGETHER TO ASSESS WHERE
ARE WE NOW IN TERMS OF THE
NUMBERS- MAKES A PROJECTIONS
ABOUT RETIREMENTS AND THEN- YOU
KNOW BUT WHAT MORE WILL WE NEED
TO CONTINUE TO- I MANAGE AS WE
GO AND PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE
AND GET GREAT DATA. FROM PLACES
LIKE CASTERS AND SO- ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE OFTEN DO IS PULL
TOGETHER ALL THE PARTNERS THAT
ARE PRESENTING FOR YOU AND A FEW
OTHERS. I THINK THROUGH. WATER
ALL THE COMPONENTS- BECAUSE THE
WORKING MULTIPLE PLACE SO WILL
BE PULLING WILL BE CONVENE THESE
PARTNER TOGETHER A- SOON TO-
THING TO SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS
. ALSO S. BUT NOT THAT THAT IS
HOW BECAUSE I GIVE WHAT I'M HERE
IS THAT THERE ISN'T SORT OF
STATEWIDE DASH. WHERE WE ARE TO
THIS. AND WE'RE LOOKING WAY THE
SHORE ARE AND HOW THE RESEARCH
THAT'S COMING IN AND SORT OF
UPDATING AT THE STATE LEVEL YOU
KNOW WHAT THOSE NUMBERS LOOK
LIKE THEY'RE AND I'M I'M EXCITED
ABOUT THE PROGRESS THAT'S BEING
MADE- BUT I WAS CONCERNED THAT
JUST IN MY PROCESS OF TRYING TO
PREPARE. THAT I COULDN'T FIND IN
ONE PLACE A SENSE OF WHAT IS OUR
WORK FORCE WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF
JOBS WE NEED TO FILL WHAT ARE
THOSE SORT OF SPECIALIZATIONS
THAT WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT
IN ONE. AND ONE LOCATION SO
THAT'S THAT'S ONE ONE QUESTION-
THAT I WANTED TO ASK HOW CAN WE
BEGIN. TO KIND OF HAVE A COMMON
PART OF DEPARTURE IN THIS THIS
CRISIS OF- BUILDING OUR
WORKFORCE. AND ABLE TO TRACK IT
IN REAL TIME SO. SO APPRECIATE
THAT QUESTION IT'S A IT'S BEEN
REQUESTED FRUSTRATION FROM MANY
YEARS. OF SO WE AND WE DON'T
HAVE WE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE
DASHBOARD YET. THE CRADLE TO
CAREER DATA SYSTEM IS IN THE
PROCESS OF GETTING. THAT
DASHBOARD PUT TOGETHER AND
DRAWING FROM A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT STATE AGENCIES FROM
CAL STIRS TO THE CTC. TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ALL OF
US HAVE SOME INFORMATION TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THE DASHBOARD.
WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW THAT
WE'VE BEEN USING AS KIND OF THAT
THE PLACE HOLDER TO GAUGE. AND
MAKE OUR BEST GUESS ABOUT
SHORTAGES IS A NUMBER OF THINGS
FIRST OFF EVERY YEAR EVERY LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCY REPORTS THEIR
PROJECTED HIRING NEEDS FOR THE
NEXT YEAR. THAT DATE IS REPORTED
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
IT GOES INTO SOME OF THEIR- DATA
SNAPSHOTS. WE. COLLECT THOSE
DATA FOR OUR TEACHERS SELECT A-
REPORT THAT WE PAY. AND THE ANYA
FOR YEARS THE BEEN TWENTY.
EXPECT HIGHER TWENTY THOUSAND
NEW TEACHERS. UGH IT WENT DOWN
TO ABOUT SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
DURING THE COPA YEARS BUT IT'S
HOVERING RIGHT AROUND THAT
NUMBER. DON'T KNOW THE SCIENCE
OF THAT BUT IT'S HR
PROFESSIONALS PROJECTING INTO
THE FUTURE. THE LARGEST AREA OF
NEED RIGHT NOW PROBABLY BECAUSE
A TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTNER
PROJECT THE LARGEST AREA OF NEED
IS GOING TO BE FOR TEACHERS WHO
CAN TEACH IN THE T. K. SPACE AND
THAT'S GOING TO BE MULTIPLE
SUBJECT TEACHERS AS WELL.
SPECIAL EDUCATION HAS BEEN A
CHRONIC SHORTAGE AND CONTINUES
TO BE AN AREA OF HIGH NEED. STEM
FIELDS AS WELL GEOGRAPHICALLY
ARE LARGER URBAN AREAS ARE
EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE
GREATEST HIRING NEEDS TO CENTRAL
VALLEY AS WELL WE COLLECT THOSE
DATA FROM THESE LED REPORTS THAT
COME IN. WE ALSO LOOK TO HOW
MANY EMERGENCY PERMITS WE'RE
ISSUING EVERY YEAR. BECAUSE WE
ISSUE EMERGENCY PERMITS WHEN IT
WENT IN L. E. A CANNOT FIND A
FULLY QUALIFIED TEACHER TO HIRE.
SO IN THE YEARS WHEN WE WERE
ISSUING OF. AND ABOUT 50% OF THE
CREDENTIALS WE SHOULD WANT TO
FULLY PREPARE TEACHERS AND THE
OTHER FIFTY PERCENT. WENT TO
EMERGENCY PROBLEM PERMIT
HOLDERS. WE KNEW AT THAT POINT
WE HAD SIGNIFICANT SHORTAGES WE
CAN TRACK WITH THE IN THOSE
EMERGENCY PERMITS WHERE THEY'RE
LOCATED. AND THEY LARGELY TRACK
WITH WITH THE LEDS ARE TELLING
US ABOUT THEIR FUTURE NEEDS. SO
THAT MAYBE MORE HE IN THE REASON
YOU WANTED TO GO. BUT PUTTING
ALL OF THESE DATA TOGETHER WITH
THE CRADLE TO CAREER DATA SYSTEM
SHOULD PRODUCE A DASHBOARD THAT
IS REALLY HELPFUL TO ALL OF US.
SHORTLY THAT'S THAT'S OUR HOPE
AND INTO THANK YOU ENJOY I
WANTED I'M GONNA HAVE TO MOVE
THINGS ALONG WE'RE RUNNING A
LITTLE LATE ON THIS PANEL.
CHAIRMAN I KNOW YOUR QUESTION
GOOD LAST QUESTION THIS BILL GO
. THANK GOD. QUESTION AND FIRST
THE- YOU KNOW I DON'T THINK WE
SOME DAY ON THIS I'M A- THAT
PLURAL ANECDOTE IS NOT DATA. BUT
I'VE A LOT OF ANECDOTES FROM T.
ABOUT POLITICIZATION. AND THE
POLICE. OF A- WHICH I WE HAVE
SEEN THE CITY OF ORANGE. I KNOW
CENTER HAS A BILL ADDRESSING
SOME OF WHAT HAPPENED IN ORANGE
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. WHERE
BRAND NEW SCHOOL BOARD
IMMEDIATELY FIRED IN A VERY
UNUSUAL MOVE THE WELL RESPECTED
SUPERINTENDENT AND ASSISTANT
SUPERINTENDENT- A IS CLEARLY
DONE. WITH INTENTION I THINK THE
TEACHERS ARE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE FACING RIGHT
NOW WITH PARENTS COMING IN WITH.
A MISINFORMATION PROPAGANDA
ABOUT WHAT'S BEING TAUGHT IN OUR
SCHOOLS AND CENTERS THAT THE
COMMENT. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS
AROUND HOUSING- BECAUSE I KNOW A
LOT OF TEACHERS AND A LOT OF
YOUNG TEACHERS. AND ONE OF THE
BIGGEST BARRIERS TO THEM
CONSIDERING TEACHING AS A LONG
TERM CAREER. IS THE HIGH COST OF
HOUSING AREAS AND I JUST
WONDERED IF- IF OUR
SUPERINTENDENT ANYONE ELSE HAD
ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS SIR I
WANTED TO SPEAK TO THIS BECAUSE
I DO SEE THIS IS AN- IMPORTANT
AND RELATED ISSUE. THANK YOU AS
SENATOR MAN AND- AGAIN- YOU
HEARD WE WILL PULL TOGETHER
DATA- THAT WAS REQUESTED- BYE
CENTER SMALLWOOD CUEVAS WILL
PULL THAT TOGETHER WITH ALL THE
PARTIES TOGETHER. AND PUT
TOGETHER A SNAPSHOT. OF ALL THE
DATA NEEDS A FORMAL AGREEMENT.
IT WILL GET THAT TO THE MEMBERS
OF BOTH- COMMITTEE SAID TODAY.
AND IN TERMS OF- HOUSING THERE'S
NO QUESTION THAT. THE LACK OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAS BEEN A
BARRIER FOR THE EDUCATED WORK
FORCE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER
WORKFORCE IN OUR STATE. AND- IN
TWENTY NINETEEN. WE SPONSOR
LEGISLATION AT THE DEPARTMENT TO
SUPPORT A MORE FUNDING FOR
TEACHER HOUSING- AND- WE WERE
ABLE TO GET- TAX CREDITS. THAT
WERE MADE AVAILABLE- TO
DEVELOPERS WHO WERE WORKING IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOOL
DISTRICTS. WHO TOOK SURPLUS
PROPERTY TO USE THE SURPLUS
PROPERTY. TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. THESE ARE EXTREMELY
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS HISTORICALLY
THE STATE HAS HAD. A FIRST TIME
HOME BUYER- SUBSIDY- BUT THAT-
THAT. PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE
REPLENISHED WITH FUNDING. TO
SUPPORT THAT- WE HAVE SPONSORED
A BILL AB ELEVEN SIXTY NINE-
THAT WOULD PROVIDE- SUPPORT FOR
EDUCATION EDUCATOR HOUSING. AND
THAT'S FOR BOTH TEACHERS AND
CLASSIFIED STAFF- AND SO WE'RE
LOOKING AT IT FROM THE
STANDPOINT OF- USING- AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS. OF
OUR EDUCATOR FOR. THANK YOU BAD
SEARCHES THANK YOU MISTER
MAGENTA TO MAKE THE TO THE THREE
PAN- THING YOU MISPRISION ARE
YOU GUYS ON- WE'RE TO NOW TO THE
PANEL AS WE DO I WANT TO.
EMPHASIZE WHEN A RUN SHORT ON
TIME SO FOLKS KEEP THEIR- THEIR
TESTIMONY IN ANY QUESTIONS
REALLY CONCISE THAT WOULD BE
HELPFUL WE'VE A HARD STOP HERE
AT NOON- THE SECOND PANEL- IS
ABOUT THE EDUCATOR PIPELINE
PREPARATION. OUR FIRST WITNESS
WELCOME AND GOOD MORNING TO
MISTER DAVID CHOIR DIRECTOR OF
THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
DIVISION FOR THE CALIFORNIA
COMMISSION ON TEACHER
CREDENTIALING. SHARES NEWMAN
LAYERED SENATORS MY NAME IS
DAVID GEAR AND I'M THE DIRECTOR
OF THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
DIVISION AT THE COMMISSION ON
TEACHER CREDENTIALING. OUR
DIVISION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL
THINGS RELATED TO THE
PREPARATION OF EDUCATORS IN
CALIFORNIA. INCLUDING THE
ADMINISTRATION OF SOME OF THE
STATE'S INVESTMENT AND THE
TEACHER WORKFORCE GRANT PROGRAMS
. I WAS ASKED TO PROVIDE YOU AN
UPDATE ON THE NEW PK THREE
CREDENTIAL. SO BASED ON
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM WORK GROUPS
AND STAFF. THE COMMISSION
APPROVED PROPOSED REGULATIONS
RELATING TO THE CREDENTIAL
REQUIREMENTS. AND IT'S AUGUST
TWENTY TWENTY TWO MEETING. LAST
OCTOBER THE COMMISSION ADOPTED
PREPARATION PROGRAM STANDARDS
AND TEACHING PERFORMANCE
EXPECTATIONS ARE TPG'S. FOR THE
CREDENTIAL. INCLUDING SPECIFIC
STANDARDS AND TEEPEES FOR
LITERACY AND MATHEMATICS. IN
DECEMBER OF THE COMMISSION
APPROVED PROPOSED REGULATIONS
PERTAINING TO THE AUTHORIZATION.
CREDENTIAL REQUIREMENTS. PROGRAM
STANDARDS ANTI PEACE FOR THE PK
THREE CREDENTIALS. THE
COMMISSION WILL BE HOLDING A
PUBLIC HEARING ON THESE
REGULATIONS AT ITS REGULAR
MEETING ON APRIL TWENTIETH AND
TWENTY FIRST. COMMISSION STAFF
HAVE BEEN PROVIDING TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE TO PROGRAM SPONSORS
INTERESTED IN OFFERING
PREPARATION PROGRAMS FOR THIS
NEW CREDENTIAL. INCLUDING
WEBINARS ON LITERACY MATH AND
EQUITY STANDARDS AND A NUMBER OF
INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
AROUND THE STATE. WE HAVE
ALREADY RECEIVED ONE PROGRAM
SUBMISSION AND EXPECT MORE
BEFORE OUR INITIAL ROUND OF
SUBMISSION REVIEWS ON APRIL
THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEEN. WE
ANTICIPATE APPROVING A NUMBER OF
NEW PROGRAMS TO START THIS FALL
. COMMISSION STAFF HAVE ALSO
BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION TO PROVIDE INFORMATION
AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO
LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES AS THEY
IMPLEMENT UNIVERSAL TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN. ELEAZAR HAVE
REPORTED FEELING REASSURED BY
THE ABUNDANCE OF FINANCIAL AND
OTHER SUPPORT AVAILABLE
INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN PERMIT
THAT THE LEGISLATURE CREATED
LAST YEAR. FOR SITUATIONS WHERE
THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND A
FULLY CREDENTIALED CANDIDATES.
ON A SEPARATE TOPIC COMMITTEE
STANCE COMMITTEE STAFF ASKED IF
THERE ARE ANY COMMON THEMES OR
CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANT
PROGRAMS THAT SEEM TO BE MORE
SUCCESSFUL OR ATTRACTIVE THAN
OTHERS AMONG EDUCATORS OR
EDUCATORS AND TRAINING. BASED ON
DATA COLLECTED FROM GRANTEES TWO
CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL
GRANT PROGRAM STICK OUT TO ME.
FIRST WHEN GRANT ALLOW FOR LOCAL
CHOICES AND HOW TO BEST USE
FUNDS PROVIDED. PROVIDED BY THE
STATE AND SECOND WHERE GRANTS
REQUIRE STRONG PARTNERSHIPS FOR
EXAMPLE WE ARE CURRENTLY
DISBURSING THE FINAL FUNDING FOR
THE LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO THE
SHORTAGE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
TEACHERS GRANT. RANTINGS ENDED
UP FOCUSING MORE ON RETAINING
SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN
TRAINING OR HIRING NEW TEACHERS.
THEY REPORTED FUNDING FOR DEBT
RELIEF TO SEEM TO HAVE THE
GREATEST IMPACT ON TEACHERS
ALLOWING NEW ENERGY AND FOCUS.
AND THAT RETENTION EFFORTS
POSITIVELY IMPACTED
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TEACHERS
AND THEIR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
. IN ADDITION I HAVE VERY
PROMISING DATA TO REPORT ON HOW
PARTNERSHIPS BUILT THROUGH THE
TEACHER RESIDENCY GRANTS ARE
HELPING TO ADDRESS BILL SHORTAGE
AREAS AND RETENTION. 91% OF THE
FIRST COHORT OF THREE HUNDRED
RESIDENTS FROM THE TWENTY
EIGHTEEN TEACHER RESIDENCY
GRANTS HAVE EARNED CREDENTIALS.
INCLUDING ONE HUNDRED EDUCATION
SPECIALIST EIGHTY THREE IN STEM
AREAS AND SEVENTY SIX BILINGUAL
AUTHORIZATIONS. ALL WHO EARNED A
CREDENTIAL WERE HIRED BY A
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOL. AND OF
THOSE ALMOST 97% WERE RETAINED
IN THEIR SECOND YEAR OF TEACHING
. IN THE SECOND COHORT OF THIRTY
THREE HUNDRED FORTY TWO
RESIDENTS ALMOST 74% HAVE
ALREADY EARNED A CREDENTIAL
INCLUDING NINETY SIX EDUCATION
SPECIALIST. EIGHTY SIX IN STEM
AREAS AND SEVENTY BILINGUAL
AUTHORIZATION. CONSIDERING THAT
THESE RESULTS WERE ACHIEVED AS
GRANTEES WERE STRUGGLING WITH
SCHOOL CLOSURES AND RE OPENINGS
WE ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT THE
TWENTY TWENTY ONE AND TWENTY
TWENTY TWO INVESTMENTS IN
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS. WILL HAVE
STRONG AND POSITIVE IMPACTS ON
ADDRESSING THE SHORTAGE AREAS.
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT A
NEW STATEWIDE RESIDENCY
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTER WILL
BE STARTING LATER THIS YEAR TO
SUPPORT GRANTEES AND BUILDING
AND MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY
SUSTAINABLE PARTNERSHIPS AND
PREPARATION PROGRAMS. IN
ADDITION TO THE RESIDENCY GRANTS
FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
COUNSELORS THE COMMISSION IS
ALSO MANAGING THE FOLLOWING
GRANT PROGRAMS. THE CLASSIFIED
SCHOOL EMPLOYEE TEACHER
CREDENTIALING PROGRAM. WHICH
SUPPORTS CURRENT CLASSIFIED
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES TO EARN A
BACHELOR'S DEGREE AND A TEACHING
CREDENTIAL. AS MISS BROS HILLS
DATA SHOW OF THE COMMISSION'S
CURRENT GRANT PROGRAMS THIS ONE
IS THE CLOSEST TO BEING FULLY
AWARDED. THE INTEGRATED
UNDERGRADUATE TEACHER
PREPARATION GRANTS WHICH
PROVIDES FUNDING TO INSTITUTIONS
OF HIGHER EDUCATION TO DEVELOP
IMPLEMENT AND EXPAND PREPARATION
PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW CANDIDATES
TO EARN THEIR CREDENTIAL WHILE
THEY ARE EARNING THEIR
BACHELOR'S DEGREE. THIS IS
CURRENTLY THE ONLY GRANT PROGRAM
AVAILABLE TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS
FOR THE PK THREE CREDENTIAL. THE
COMPUTER SCIENCE SUPPLEMENTARY
AUTHORIZATION INCENTIVE GRANT
PROGRAM HELPS ALREADY
CREDENTIALED TEACHERS ARE IN
THEIR COMPUTER SCIENCE
AUTHORIZATION. AND THE READING
AND LITERACY SUPPLEMENTARY
AUTHORIZATION INCENTIVE GRANT
PROGRAM SUPPORTS ALREADY
CREDENTIALED TEACHERS TO BECOME
EXPERTS IN READING AND LITERACY
CONSTRUCTION. AND I WILL BE
HAPPY TO STAND BY FOR ANY
QUESTIONS AND APPRECIATE THAT
THANK RETURNS MONEY. NEXT
FANTASY STRUCTURING PAVLEY THE
ASSISTANT VICE CHANCELLOR OF
EDUCATOR AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
AT THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY WELCOME. PLEASE
PROCEED. TURNING OF AS YOU MEANT
I'M CHECKING FARMING EMPHASIS BY
STRONG. AT THE C. FOR EDUCATING
PROGRAMS- I ALL WORKED IN THE C.
FOR PAST FOUR YEARS TWENTY THREE
YEARS AT CAL STATE LONG BEACH
WHEN I WAS A FACULTY MEMBER AND
THEN A TEAM. AS WELL. I AM
EXTREMELY OFTEN ABOUT THE FIELD
OF EDUCATION AND THE DEEP
IMPACTS THAT I CSU PREPARED
EDUCATORS ARE HAVING ON
CALIFORNIA'S YOUNG PEOPLE. THE
LEGISLATORS RECENT POLICY
DECISIONS HAVE ENERGIZED THE
FIELD INVESTED NEW FINDING THAT
HAS MADE A NOTABLE DIFFERENCE
AND THAT HELPED REDUCE BARRIERS
TO ENTRY INTO THE STATE'S
EDUCATE A WORKFORCE ESPECIALLY
FOR UNDERREPRESENTED CANDIDATES
- SO I WILL SHARE WITH YOU A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT EDUCATOR
PREPARATION IN THE CSU AND THEN
I WAS ASKED TO SPEAK TO
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES.
REGARDING GROWING THE EDUCATED
WORKFORCE. EDUCATOR PREPARATION
IS A HIGH PRIORITY IN THE CSU WE
PREPARE HALF OF CALIFORNIA'S
TEACHERS 62% OF HOME OFFICES OF
COLOR. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS
THE CSU PREPARED THIRTY TWO
THOUSAND TEACHERS MORE THAN ANY
OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM
IN THE STATE. AND REGISTERED A
15% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
TEACHERS PROVIDE. AS A. FOR
TWENTY TO TEN THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED STUDENTS ARE ENROLLED IN
OUR TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS
. THE CSU ALSO PREPARES A LARGE
NUMBER OF THE STATE'S CURRICULUM
SPECIALISTS PRINCIPALS
COUNSELORS PSYCHOLOGISTS. AND P.
K. TWELVE AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
LEADERS. WE HAVE FOCUSED OUR
WORK ON DEEPENING PARTNERSHIPS
CREATING NEW PATHWAYS REDUCING

INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS. AND
FINALLY AS WE WORK TO GROW THE
EDUCATED WORKFORCE AND DIVERSIFY
THE RANKS OF EDUCATORS WE MUST
FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE
AFFORDABILITY OPTIONS FOR THE
CANDIDATES. WE HEAR REGULARLY
FROM MY TEACHER CANDIDATES WERE
CHALLENGED TO BE THAT BILLS WE

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS. AMONG
THESE HALF OF THE NEW TEACHER

DO IN THE SECTORS MAKING AN
IMPACT ON PROVIDING THAT TEACHER

THE FIELD BECAUSE OF THESE
REMOVAL OF THESE BARRIERS THANK

WE'RE ALSO HERE TODAY TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT WAYS THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR FUTURE
TEACHER CANDIDATES. SO I REGION
AS A COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER
CAREFULLY THE A. I. C. C. U.
SECTOR AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT
FUNDING AND GRANT OPPORTUNITIES.
AND PROGRAMS DEVELOPED IN THE
LEGISLATION BECAUSE OF THE
UNIQUE AND DIVERSE INSTITUTIONS
THAT WE REPRESENT. SO IN THE
FUTURE- AS AN EXAMPLE AS YOU
CONTINUE TO FIND A SUPPORT
RESIDENCY GRANTS THESE ARE ARE
FANTASTIC- A IS A FANTASTIC
PATHWAY AS MENTIONED I WAS
EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THE
EXPANDED. FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF
RESIDENTS BUT I WOULD ALSO URGE
YOU TO LOOK AT THE CONTINUE TO
LOOK AT THE STUDENT TEACHING
THAT THAT WAS AN EXCITING PIECE
THAT CAME OUT THIS WEEK AT THE
SPAN CONFERENCE HERE.
POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT THOSE AS
A PRINT TO SHIPS AND BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT THAT STUDENT TEACHING.
THE WILL IT'S A MORE FINANCIALLY
VIABLE OPTION PARTICULAR FROM
OUR MOST UNDERSERVED CANDIDATES.
SO THAT AS WELL AS OUR
INTERNSHIPS AND WE'VE CERTAINLY
SEEN AN INCREASE AN INTERNSHIP
REQUEST FROM OUR DISTRICTS AND
WE'RE HAPPY TO SUPPORT THAT. BUT
WE ALSO WANT TO BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT CANDIDATES IN THE
STUDENT TEACHING AND
RESIDENCIES. AT A LIVABLE WAGE
SO THAT THEY CAN GET THAT
SUPPORT AND TRAINING AT THAT
LEVEL. SECOND IRG GONNA AND THIS
IS ALREADY ON YOUR TABLE TO
CONTINUE THAT THAT SUPPORT OF
THE FEES FOR THE TESTING.
REQUIREMENTS THAT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO OUR CANDIDATES. AND
THEN AS YOU LOOK AT TO SPONSOR
AND FUND ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES. INNOVATIVE
PROGRAMMING. WHEN YOU LOOK AT
OUR OUR INDEPENDENT AND PRIVATE
COLLEGES WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO REALLY. BEING NIMBLE AND
RESPOND TO THE URGENT NEED AT
HAND. SO FOR EXAMPLE AT CAL
BAPTIST WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE A
FOR YOUR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
THAT THE POPULATION OF THAT HAS
JUST EXPANDED. AS CANDID AS OUR
UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY CAN DO
THEIR THEIR UNDERGRADUATE WORK
ALONGSIDE THEIR CREDENTIAL. THIS
ESPECIALLY IN THOSE STEM AREAS
THAT WAS DISCUSSED IN IN THE
MEETING TODAY. BECAUSE THEY CAN
TAKE THAT MATH MAJOR THAT
SCIENCE MAJOR AND ALONG WITH
THAT GET THE CREDENTIAL IN THE
FOUR YEARS. SO FINDING NEW AND
INNOVATIVE. PATHWAYS TO
CREDENTIALING- IS ESPECIALLY
ATTRACTIVE TO THE INDEPENDENCE
AT AGAIN AT WITH OUR NIMBLENESS
TO RESPOND QUICKLY. TO WRAP UP
MY COMMENTS AGAIN I JUST THANK
YOU FOR THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT
YOU'RE DOING THAT DIGITAL
FUNDING IS APPRECIATED AND
NOTED- AND I URGE YOU TO
LEVERAGE THE POWER OF THE
INDEPENDENT CALIFORNIA COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES. AS WE WORK
TOGETHER. TO ADDRESS THIS
TEACHER SHORTAGE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU DEAN DUNCAN- IN NEXT
WE HAVE FOR MISTER EDGAR EDGAR
CABRAL WHO IS DEPUTY LESLIE
HILLS FOR K. TWELVE EDUCATION.
WITH THE L. A. S. OFFICE WELCOME
SIR. HI GOOD MORNING AGAIN EDGAR
BROADLAND FEDERAL STUFF IS ON.
THE USER FROM LOTS OF THE
PANELISTS ON THE INFORMATION
RELATED TO SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES
THAT THEY'RE INVOLVED IN TO
INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF TEACHERS
IN CALIFORNIA. I DO WANT TO
PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT
RELATED TO- THE UNIT YOU SEE CSU
COMPACTS AND THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE ROAD MAP WHICH- DO NOT.
IN MOST CASES DO NOT DIRECTLY
AFFECT THESE EDUCATOR
PREPARATION PROGRAMS BUT THE
PART OF THE CONTEXT THAT.
UNIVERSITIES ARE ARE TAKING INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY'RE
THINKING ABOUT EXPANDING THEIR
PROGRAMS IN ADDRESSING THE
TEACHER SHORTAGE ISSUES. SO
THESE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
SEGMENTS ON THE GOVERNOR AND THE
ENCOMPASS A BROAD SET OF AREAS
IN GOALS. RELATED TO HIGHER
EDUCATION AND ARE THE SEGMENTS
ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ANNUAL
REPORTS TO THE GOVERNOR AND THE
LEGISLATURE IN THESE AREAS. I'M
INTO THIS THE UC AND CSU
COMPACTS HAVE OUR GOALS IN SIX
AREAS OF THING GOALS AND BEING
COULD THINGS LIKE. IMPROVING
STUDENT ACCESS AND ADVANCING
EQUITY. INCREASING INTERSEGMENT
A COLLABORATION AND SUPPORTING
WORKFORCE PREPARATION AND HIGH
DEMAND GROUP ARE PLANES. SO
ADDRESSING TEACHER WORK FOR WORK
WORKFORCE ISSUES ONE PART OF THE
BROADER SET OF GOALS BUT IT'S-
YOU KNOW EMBEDDED WITHIN THESE
LARGER GOALS. AND THE SEGMENTS
ARE TRYING TO MEET THESE GOALS
AND A VARIETY OF OTHER GOALS
THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE EXISTING
FUNDING THAT THEY RECEIVE. I'M I
DID WHAT HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE.
AREAS WHERE- EDUCATION IS
MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY SO FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ARE TO COLLABORATE WITH
YOU SEE AND SEE IF YOU TO
DEVELOP MORE ASSOCIATE DEGREES
FOR TRANSFER. I'M IN THE
EDUCATION ASPECT MORE OF THOSE
PATHWAYS IN THE EDUCATION FIELD-
TO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE I'M MORE
CAMPUSES IN TO INCREASE
ENROLLMENT IN IN IN THOSE
PROGRAMS. THE COMMUTER CALLS
ROADMAP ALSO HAS EXPECTATIONS
ABOUT ESTABLISHING OR EXPANDING
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS IN EDUCATION
AND EARLY EDUCATION. BERMAN FOR
BOTH UC AND CSU- THEY'RE BOTH
REQUIRED TO COLLABORATE WITH THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND
DEVELOPING THESE ASSOCIATE
DEGREES FOR TRANSFER SINCE THE
WHOLE GOAL IS TO. HAVE THEM.
CREATE A SMOOTHER TRANSITION
WITHOUT A LOT OF EXCESS- COURSES
THAT ARE TAKEN AT THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE LEVEL TO GET STUDENTS TO
COMPLETE THEIR DEGREES MORE
QUICKLY. I'M REGARDING WORKFORCE
PREPARATION- FOR BOTH YOU SEE
AND SEE IF YOU. EARLY EDUCATION
AND EDUCATION ARE CONSIDERED
HIGH DEMAND CAREERS THAT BOTH
YOU SEE AND SEE IF YOU ARE TO
PRIORITIZE. AND FOR THESE HIGH
DEMAND CAREERS- OVERALL THE
UNIVERSITIES ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE ENROLLMENT BY 25% BY
TWENTY SIX TWENTY SEVEN- AM THE
CSU HAS INDICATED THAT THESE
TARGETS ARE LIKELY NOT POSSIBLE
GIVEN- SOME OF THE DECLINES IN
ENROLLMENT. INTO THE SYSTEM-
AND- IN ADDITION TO OTHER
CHALLENGES SO THAT'S SOMETHING
TO KEEP IN MIND- BUT IN THE AREA
OF HIGH DEMAND CAREERS THAT THE
COMPACT SPECIFICALLY STATES
THAT. THE ISSUES PRIMARY FOCUS
IS TO PRODUCE MORE KING OF
EDUCATORS SO THAT IS A CLEAR AND
IN THE COMPACT. I'M GONNA BE THE
CONTACT THEIR ARE BROAD BASED AT
THESE GOALS IN TERMS OF HOW. THE
GET TO THESE GO THERE'S FLEXIBLE
FOR THEM TO HOW TO DO SO- SO THE
BEST WAY FOR THE LEGISLATURE. TO
BE INFORMATIVE THING APPRISED ON
WHAT THE ACTIVITIES ARE OF THE
UNIVERSITIES AND- YOU WILL BE
RECEIVING THESE ANNUAL REPORTS
TO GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
THAT MAY NOT HAVE ALL OF THE
SPECIFIC INFORMATION THAT YOU
WANT RELATED TO THESE PARTICULAR
PROGRAMS AND SO IF THAT. IS NOT
SUFFICIENT. EVERYTHING THE
LEGISLATURE CRIES FOR
DISINFORMATION. WHAT THE STATUS
IS OUR STATUS ARE IN TERMS OF
THESE VERY SPECIFIC- A
PRIORITIES. I'M UP THERE BUT
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION I
THANK YOU INTEGUMENT. BROUGHT
THAT LITTLE LET ME OF THE GREAT
I'LL TURN OVER TO MY FELLOW.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. FOR THAT MR
DEGREE IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND IT-
AND SO THE IDEA METCALFE MAY-
THOSE SUPER. FOR TEST FEES. THE
. IN THE TO THAT RIGHT OR OR BE
THAT WERE WHAT ARE SOME THE
OTHER ROOM. UPS THAT YOU SEE
DOING. ROLE IN TEACHER. TO KILL
FOR. WELL IN TALKING TO.
COLLEAGUES AT PREPARATION
PROGRAMS- WHAT I HAVE HEARD IS
THAT THE START UP COSTS FOR THEM
TO- CREATE NEW PROGRAMS OR-
EXPAND ENROLLMENT. OUR CAPACITY.
THE START UP COSTS TO GET NEW
FACULTY IS A CHALLENGE FOR THEM.
AND THERE'S NO DIRECT. FUNDING
SOURCE FOR THEM TO GRAB THAT- I
WOULD SAY THAT THAT'S PROBABLY
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE THAT I
HAVE HEARD. YOU'RE MAD THANK YOU
GOD ANYBODY. THE OTHER PANELISTS
WERE SPEAK TO THAT I KNOW YOU
WERE VOLUNTEERED BY THE SUPER
TEN EARLIER WENT THROUGH IT TOO
OKAY GET. CENTER LAYERED- I
WANTED US TO SEE A- U. REP. A
QUESTION AND MAY HAVE THE- AND-
A PER. AND ON THE PROGRAM SIDE-
YES A AND I THINK YOU ALLUDED TO
IT COS ESTABLISH FOR. INTEGRATED
PROGRAMS FOR TEACHER EDUCATION
AND IN TERMS OF STUDENT DEMANDED
PROGRAM COST- I WAS GONNA ASK
HOW DO THESE COMPARE TO
TRADITIONAL PATHWAYS FOR TEACHER
EDUCATION. WELL I WOULD SAY THE
MAJORITY OF OUR STUDENTS IN THE
CSU STILL COMING AT THE POST
BACCALAUREATE LEVEL IN TEACHER
PREPARATION BUT WE'VE HAD
SEVERAL LONG STANDING
UNDERGRADUATE FOUR YA
INTEGRATIVE TEACHER EDUCATION
PROGRAMS. EVERY OF ARQUEBUSES
THAT HAVE WORKED REALLY CLOSELY
WITH OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND
CARE ACT TWO COMMISSIONS EDT
BOTH WAYS- AND ANY OF THESE FOR
YOUR PROGRAMS ALLOW CANDIDATES
TO GRADUATE QUICKER AND WITH
LESS DEBT. SO THEY HAVE THEY
HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN- OF A VERY
ATTRACTIVE POSSIBLY AND ALSO AS
WE WORK WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PARTNERS THE HAVE BROUGHT IN. A
MORE DIVERSE. GROUP OF
CANDIDATES INTO A TEACHER PREP
FOR- WE DO HAVE STOOD IN I TEND
PROGRAM WHO WILL START AS AND-
IN CSU AS WELL. IN THEN I DON'T
IF YOU'RE TO THE NEXT QUESTION
BUT MAY BE THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST IS WE HAD OUR CSU BUDGET
HEARING LAST WEEK. AND IN THESE
COMPACTS THEY GIVE A 5% INCREASE
AND YET. CSU SAID THE 5% WAS
INADEQUATE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS
AND THEY PUT FORWARD A BUDGET
FOR NEXT FIVE PERCENT. OF THAT
INCLUDES COMPENSATION IN A
NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES THAT
AREN'T COVERED BY WHAT'S GOING
TO THE BASIC. HOW DOES DUBBED
THE TEACHER TRAINING THAT'S POST
BACCALAUREATE THAT YOU JUST
MENTIONED FIT INTO THAT IS THERE
ENOUGH MONEY WITHIN THE COMPACT.
CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THAT OR IS
THAT SOMETHING THAT'S THREATENED
GIVEN WHAT'S GOING ON I MIGHT
LET THE L. A. ILL SPEAK AND THEN
MAYBE I CAN PAYMENT. THAT BE
GREAT. ALTHOUGH I'M SURE THE L.
A. O. ISN'T HAPPY. YEAH I
DEFINITELY TELL YOU IT IN TERMS
OF THE IF YOU. RARITIES WHETHER
BECKHAM BUT I THINK THAT I THINK
THE BROADER CHALLENGES FROM OF
THE LEGISLATURE SLATED OVERSIGHT
OF THESE ISSUES IS THAT WE
PROVIDE FUNDING TO SEE IF YOU
SEE IF YOU MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT
HOW FUNDING IS ALLOCATED ACROSS
CAMPUSES AND PROGRAMS. AND
IDEALLY YOU WOULD HAVE AN
INCREASE IN IN IN UP AREA THAT
IS A LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES LIKE
TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS BUT
THAT IS NOT A SORRY ALWAYS THE
CASE- I THINK WHAT I CAN. I
CAN'T TELL IN TERMS OF IF WITH
THE IN THE CURRENT BUDGET
WHETHER THAT WOULD NECESSARILY
GET TO TEACHER PREP PROGRAMS ARE
NOT ANYONE I CAN FIT IT IN
GENERAL LOOKING AT. THE COST OF
PROGRAMS WE DO THINK THAT
COMPARED TO SAY SOME OF THE
HEALTH HEALTH MAJORS- BUT THE
COST OF. OF PROVIDING THE
PROGRAM IS A LITTLE BIT LOWER
THAN SOME OF THOSE OTHER HIGH
COST FREE FOR EXAMPLE EUROPEAN
HEALTH READING A LOT OF
TECHNOLOGY. WHAT WE LIMIT CLOSE
ON THIS AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE
EVERY MEMBER OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE
HERE SO THEY'RE LISTENING TO
THIS CONVERSATION. AND LAST WEEK
CSU TOOK THE UNPRECEDENTED STEP
OF SAYING HERE'S PRECISELY HOW
WE WOULD SPENT 25% HERE'S
PRECISELY HOW WE WOULD SPEND
ABOVE THAT AND- WE WERE LEFT BY
THE TIME THE HEARING WAS DONE.
OF DECIDING HOW WE MIGHT BIND TO
THAT OR HOW WE MIGHT. BE
SPECIFIC ABOUT THAT IN HOW WE
APPROPRIATE IN THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYSTS SAID. THEY HAVE NOT
BEEN TRANSPARENT AND THEN BY THE
TIME WE GOT TO THE HEARING THEY
SAID. SOME VERSION OF WHAT
THEY'RE STARTING TO BE
TRANSPARENT- SO A AND WE HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT SO I
WOULD JUST SAY. TO CSU IT WOULD
BE GOOD IF YOU WOULD FOLLOW UP
TO THIS HEARING. TO MAKE SURE WE
UNDERSTAND WHERE THE TEACHER
PROGRAMS FIT IN THAT TOO BECAUSE
IF IN FACT WE ARE BEING
SPECIFIC. IN IN WHAT WE DO FOR
THE CSU BUDGET ARE WHEN WE
APPROVE THE BUDGET WE SHOULD SEE
IF THAT'S IN OR OUT OR NEEDS TO
BE SPECIFICALLY. ADDRESSED SO I
WOULD JUST APPRECIATE THAT
RESPONSE WE GET THERE THANK YOU
FOR. FOR RESPONDING TO THE
QUESTION BOTH. AND LET ME ASK A
QUESTION AND YOU GET OKAY. I AM
SORRY I'D PROBABLY. DEAN A- AT
LET'S START WITH YOU AND SEE-
AND ALSO- DR PUBLIC. I'M TO THE
X. THAT THE STATE IS NO FUNNY
MULTIPLE JOBS MADE MANY.
RECENTLY CHRISTMAS PATHWAYS HOW
ARE YOUR UNIVERSITIES ACTUALLY
HELPING STUDENTS BECOME MORE
AWARE OF THE NAVIGATE THOSE
PATHWAYS. RIGHT SO FULL SERVICE-
COACHING FOR OUR CANDIDATES WE
HAVE ADVISORS AND COACHES THAT
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE
CANDIDATES AS WELL AS FACULTY OF
COURSE. UNDERSTAND THAT THEY
HAVE DIFFERENT PATHWAYS SO BE
IT- MAKING SURE THEY UNDERSTAND
THE GOLDEN STATE TEACHER GRANT-
WE DO NOT HAVE RESIDENCES THAT
ARE PARTICULAR UNIVERSITY BUT
INTERNSHIPS. AND STUDENT
TEACHING PLACEMENTS AND HOW
THOSE CAN WORK WE ALSO MAKE SURE
THAT WE CONNECT THEM WELL WITH
THEIR EMPLOYERS- THAT THAT'S AN
IMPORTANT PART WE FEEL LIKE OF
OUR JOB IS SET TO CONNECT THEM
WITH. THEIR EMPLOYERS SO THEY
CAN MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY. AND I
ANSWERED DURING DEAD CHAU FOR
DOCTOR PROVERBS FOR THIS ISSUE.
UP LOTS OF IN. MEETINGS LOTS OF
WORKING WITH THE PARK- GOING ON
TO DO. ANYWAY WE'RE INVITED INTO
MANY OF THE EVENTS THE
SUPERINTEND HERMAN HAS BEEN
TALKING GOING ACROSS STATE. OF
RESOURCE. AND THEN MAKING SURE
THAT OUR STUDENTS TALKING WITH
THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICES ON
THEIR CAMPUSES SO THAT THEY ARE
AWARE OF THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE TO
THEM. THAT'S THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
CRITICAL FOR OUR STUDENTS
ESPECIALLY UNDERREPRESENTED
CANDIDATES RETURNING CANDIDATES
WILL WHO HAVE FAMILY WHO HAVE
OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES I NEED TO
KNOW WHAT FUNDING IS AVAILABLE
AS THEY PURSUE THESE PROGRAMS.
PRECIADO GENERATIONAL EQUITY
OBJECTION MR BIGGER AND IF I
COULD HAVE OF THE LEGISLATURE
FUNDED A- CAREER COUNSELOR
POSITIONS IN OUR CERTIFICATION
DIVISION IN THIS CURRENT BUDGET.
WE ARE- WE'VE HIRED ALL OF THEM
AND ARE TRAINING THEM- THE GOAL
IS FOR THEM TO BE AVAILABLE TO
ANYONE IN THE STATE WHO WANTS TO
BECOME A TEACHER. ANSWER THEIR
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT IS THE
PROCESS TO BECOME CREDENTIALED
AND WHAT TOP FINANCIAL RESOURCES
ARE AVAILABLE SO THEY'RE GONNA
BE BUILDING ADDITIONAL ONLINE
RESOURCES. WORKING WITH OUR
PARTNERS IN EACH OF THE SECTORS
OF- OF PREPARATION AND WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. AND HOW
WOULD PERSPECTIVE TEACHERS LEARN
ABOUT THAT RESOURCE SO THEY
COULD CONNECT TO IT. AS WE GET
IT GOING- WILL BE DOING A LOT OF
ADVERTISING I'M OUT AND AGAIN
WORKING WITH. THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND
PROBABLY LOOKING MORE BROADLY AT
OUR PARTNERS LIKE THE CTA- ACTS
ALL OF THE COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS. GREAT THANK
YOU. JERRY SMALLWOOD CHRISTIAN.
CHRISTIAN THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
. REALLY INSIGHTFUL. I HAD A
QUESTION FOR A MISS. TO CLEAR.
THE GRANT PRO WHEN I- EXCITED
HEREBY THE DAY RELIEF AS A WAY
OF RETAINING WORK FORCE WOULD
LOVE TO SEE MORE ABOUT HOW THAT
PROGRAM WORKED IN IN IN THE WAYS
THAT THAT YOU- SAW THE- THE
DISTRICTS USING THOSE THOSE
GRANT FUNDS. BUT I ALSO HAD A
QUESTION IN TERMS OF THE LENS
FOR HOW THE GRANTS- PARTICULARLY
AROUND THE- THE CREDENTIALING
PROCESS- IN STUDENT TEACHING
PROCESS HOW. HOW DO THOSE GRANTS
WORK IN THE EARLIER PANEL THERE
WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HIGH
TURNOVER. IN INNER CITY A LOWER
INCOME- SCHOOLS LOCATED IN LOWER
INCOME COMMUNITIES AND ALSO
THERE WAS A- DISCUSSION- A POINT
ABOUT HOW THOSE SCHOOLS OFTEN.
HAVE TEACHERS WHO ARE MORE
INEXPERIENCED- IN WHO NEED MORE
SUPPORT IN PREPARING- FOR THEIR-
THEIR THEIR FINAL- PROCESS FOR
CERTIFICATION. HOW IS THERE IN
EQUITY METRICS BY WHICH THESE
PRECIOUS BECAUSE IT'S YOU KNOW
TWENTY THOUSAND IS NOT A WHOLE
LOT OF MONEY IN THESE GRANT
PROGRAM SO. HOW WHAT IS THE
METRICS FOR ACTUALLY MAKING SURE
THAT THOSE DOLLARS ARE GOING TO
THESE KINDS OF INSTITUTIONS THAT
HAVE SOME DISPROPORTIONATE
IMPACTS. SO THERE'S NOTHING IN
THE LEGISLATION- THAT FUNDED
THESE GRANT PROGRAMS THAT
REQUIRES ANY KIND OF EQUITY LIKE
THAT- BUT ONE. ONE NEW PROGRAM
THAT WILL BE COMING ONLINE IS
THE RESIDENCY TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE CENTER. OF FOR THE
STATE AND I THINK THAT THAT
CENTER WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS
SOME OF THE INEQUITIES YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE- THE
INEQUITIES IN THOSE DISTRICTS
OFTEN END UP GOING ALL THE WAY
UP TO DISTRICT OFFICE AND THAT
THERE'S NO ONE. THERE WHO CAN
HELP WRITE GRANTS. SO IF YOU'RE
UNDER OF UNDERFUNDED YOU DON'T
EVEN HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE OFTEN
WHO CAN RIGHT TO GET YOU THE
MONEY TO HELP TRAIN YOUR OWN
STAFF YOUR CLASSIFIED STAFF TO
BECOME TEACHERS. TO SET UP
RESIDENCY PROGRAM WITH AN IT SO
WE ARE HOPING WITH THAT NEW
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTER THAT
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THAT SUPPORT TO DISTRICTS ACROSS
THE STATE. AND THAT- THAT OFFICE
COMES ON LINE WIND AND HOW WAS
IT THAT WAS THE CAPACITY OF THAT
SO IT'S A TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR
GRANT OVER FIVE YEARS THAT WILL
BE AWARDED TO AN ALLEY A- ODDS
ARE PROBABLY A COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION THAT'S KIND OF WHAT'S
BEEN DONE. IN OTHER AREAS IN THE
PAST WITH THE IDEOGRAMS- SO THEY
WILL HAVE THAT MONEY OVER FIVE
YEARS TO HIRE STAFF IS REALLY
THE BIGGEST THING IS TO HIRE
STAFF AND TRAIN THEM. AND THEN-
FIND WAYS TO CONNECT WITH
DISTRICTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN
SUPPORTING HIM AND HAVING A
RESIDENCY PROGRAM- AND THEN
APPLY FOR THAT. AND YOU KNOW
PART THAT'S GOING TO COME DOWN
TO IN RURAL AREAS YOU'VE GOT
SMALLER DISTRICTS AND THEY MAY
NOT HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FOR A
COHORT OF PRESIDENCIES. SO IT'S
GOING TO BE PULLING DISTRICTS
TOGETHER WORKING WITH THE COUNTY
OFFICES TO CREATE CONSORTIA.
GUIDE AND THAT OFFICE HAS AN
EQUITY. SORT OF METRIC FOR HOW
YOU KNOW WE THINK ABOUT RURAL
YOU THINK ABOUT THE URBAN AREAS
HOW HOW WILL THOSE RESOURCES
GET. YOUR TRIBUTE IN OTHER IS
AGAIN THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT-
BUT THE COMMISSION DOES HAVE
DIRECT OVERSIGHT OF THE OFFICE
AND THEY'LL BE WORKING VERY
CLOSELY WITH US. AND SO WE WILL
BE ENSURING I MEAN THAT THAT'S
PART OF THE- COMMISSION'S NEW
STRATEGIC PLAN IS TO LOOK AT
EVERYTHING THROUGH THE LENS OF
EQUITY. AND DIVERSITY AND
INCLUSION AND SO AS WE GET THIS
NEW TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER UP
AND RUNNING. THAT WILL BE A- KEY
THING FOR US AS WE WORK WITH
THEM. AND JUST SOUNDS LIKE THERE
NEEDS TO BE SOME LEGISLATIVE.
EQUITABLE METRIC THAT CAN HELP
REALLY DETERMINE HOW THESE
RESOURCES GET ALLOCATED IN AND
WHERE MY FINAL QUESTION IS JUST
AROUND APPRENTICESHIP AND I'M
I'LL LEAVE IT OPEN TO WHOEVER
WANTS TO RESPOND TO THIS- THERE
ARE BEEN SO MANY VERY SUCCESSFUL
APPRENTICESHIP MODELS A HUNDRED
YEARS OLD YOU KNOW WE THINK
ABOUT THE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES AND I KNOW
THE STATE HAS DONE A LOT. TO
CREATE APPRENTICESHIPS A
NONTRADITIONAL- SECTORS ARE YOU
ARE WORKING WITH THE WORK FORCE
AGENCIES THE LABOR WORK FORCE.
OKAY I'M ACTUALLY ON A STATE
WORKGROUP WITH THE WORKFORCE
AGENCY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS- TO BUILD-
RESIDENCIES ACROSS ARE NOT
RESIDENCIES APPRENTICESHIPS.
WHICH WILL BE PROBABLY BE BUILT
ON SOME OF OUR RESIDENCY
PROGRAMS ACROSS THE STATE- WE
HOPE TO GET TO THE THREE PILOTS
THIS YEAR. AND THEN FROM WHAT WE
LEARNED FROM THOSE PILOTS SHARE
THAT INFORMATION- WITH OTHERS
ACROSS THE STATE WE'RE GONNA
NEED TO IDENTIFY WHO'S GOING TO
BE THE- KIND OF. LEADERSHIP
AGENCY- BECAUSE THAT'S REQUIRED-
AND PLAN FOR FEDERAL MONEY. SO
THERE'S A LOT OF DETAILS WE NEED
TO WORK OUT BUT WE ARE WORKING
WITH THOSE AGENCIES AND THE CSU
AND UC. AND WITH CTA I MEAN WE
NEED EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THAT
WHEN WITH EMPLOYERS AS WELL.
WELL I'M GLAD TO SEE MOVING
TOWARD THAT EARN AND LEARN
MODEL- ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IN
INDUSTRIES THAT WOMEN HAVE BY
AND LARGE LEAD WE HAVE BEEN LEFT
BEHIND IN OUT OF THAT. THAT
PROCESS AND SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE
A LARGELY WOMEN LED INDUSTRY NOW
STEPPING INTO THE APPRENTICESHIP
PRE APPRENTICESHIP AND
APPRENTICESHIP MODEL FOR HIGH
ROAD JOB. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT
WELCOME. ANY QUESTIONS FROM
COLLEAGUE. NO GOOD. THANK YOU
GAY DR POP DEAN DUNK MISTER
BROTHERS COMPLETES THE SET PANEL
IS WHO ONE OF THE PAN- THE THIRD
PANEL- ON EDUCATOR RECRUIT AND
WE- MISSED. CHAU FROM THE L. OF
SURFACE WELL YOUR FOR. PANELIST
YES JACKIE BRAZIL THE L. A. L.
THIS PANEL YOU'LL DEATH HEAR
FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY ON
THE GROUND ON ISSUES RELATED TO
EDUCATOR RECRUITMENT AND
RETENTION ISSUES. JUST AS AS
QUICK SUMMARY AS WAS PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED THE STATE HAS CREATED
MANY PROGRAMS AND HAS ALLOCATED
A MANY DOLLARS TO TRY TO ADDRESS
THE- ISSUES. HOWEVER MANY OF
THESE PROGRAMS ARE INSTILLED MID
FLIGHT SO IN TERMS OF GAUGING
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AT LEAST
THE STATE LEVEL INTERVENTIONS
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT AT THIS
TIME. BUT AS OTHER PRESENTERS
HAVE MENTIONED MANY OF THE WAYS
IN WHICH WE COULD ADDRESS LEE
ADDRESS A DIRECTLY ADDRESS.
EDUCATOR RETENTION AND
RECRUITMENT ISSUES IS REALLY AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL SPECIFICALLY-
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PAY REALLY
MATTERS STARTING PAY BUT THEN
ALSO PAY THROUGHOUT THE TEACHING
PROFESSION REALLY MATTERS WHEN
IT COMES TO RETENTION AND
RECRUITMENT. AND THE PAY ISSUE
IS A LOCAL ISSUE THAT'S LOCALLY
NEGOTIATED ANOTHER FACTOR THAT
MANY OF THE PRESENTERS HAVE HAVE
POINTED OUT IS WORKING
CONDITIONS REALLY MATTER AND
WHAT WORKING CONDITIONS MEANS.
FOR AND IN THE SCHOOL SETTING IS
DO TEACHERS FEEL SUPPORTED. I'M
DO THEY FEEL LIKE THAT THEY HAVE
THE NECESSARY RESOURCES AND
SUPPORT NETWORK TO MANAGE-
COMPLEX ISSUES THAT THEIR
STUDENTS MAY HAVE HOMELESSNESS
FOSTER CARE ISSUES OF FOOD
INSECURITY THINGS. LIKE THAT-
AND- ALSO AS P. HAVE MENTIONED
DURING. TO TOO MUCH I'M IN THOSE
WORKING CONDITIONS AGAIN THERE
REALLY- WERE RELATIVE TO THE
STATE IT'S REALLY LOCALS THAT
HAVE A BIT MORE CONTROL ON THOSE
ISSUES. SO WITH THAT I'LL I'M
JUST PASS IT OVER TO THE OTHER
PRESENTERS THAT WILL DEFINITELY
BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A MORE
HOLISTIC AND REAL PERSPECTIVE OF
THESE ISSUES. AND THANK YOU FOR
THAT ADDS NEXT UP IS MISTER JOSH
WAS SALAS. WHO IS THE TWENTY
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TO TEACH PLUS
CALIFORNIA POLICY FELLOW. WHO
TEACHES TENTH GRADE SPECIAL ED
IN THE LINES FOR NAY IN MEYER
LUSKIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL IN
LA- AND ALSO SERVICES THE
DEPARTMENT LEAD IN ADVICE FOR
BLACK STUDENT UNION ON ITS
CAMPUS THAT YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY
VERY BUSY THANK YOU FOR TAKING
TIME OUT TODAY. YES I AM VERY
BUSY. AND ALSO IT'S ALWAYS NICE
TO FOR OF A TOLD TEND TO YEAR
BUT- THE MORNING EVERYONE- MY IS
. THE MORNING OF MY NAME IS
JOSHUA SALAS AM A- ACTUALLY NOW
. GRADE SPECIAL EDUCATION
TEACHER BECAUSE I LOOK WITH THE
STUDENTS AT ALLIANCE AND LET'S
GET CAN ME AND A TEACHER SENIOR
POLICY. THE TEACHER HAS IN ORDER
. EMPOWER EXPIRY IN DIVERSE
TEACHERS TO TAKE LEADERSHIP
KEEP. AND PER IS. EVENTS IS EDGE
. EQUITIES AS WELL STUDENTS SIX.
AND THE HOW I BELIEVE LEE
BELIEVE THAT LEAVING IN THE
MISSION THAT I DECIDED TO STEP
UP IN MY LEADERSHIP AND BECOME A
SENIOR POLICY FELLOW
PARTICULARLY OVER EDUCATOR
DIVERSITY. AND I RESONATE WITH
THIS ISSUE A LOT ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THAT I AM- BLACK AND
PACIFIC ISLANDER. MALE TEACHER
COLOR HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND
ALSO I AM STILL IN THE CLASSROOM
AS A FOR FEW TEACHER BUT ALSO TO
RESIDENTS A LOT BECAUSE EVEN
WITHIN THIS FOR FOUR YEARS I'VE
SEEN A LOT OF MY FRIENDS. LEAVE
THE CLASSROOM I'VE ALSO SEEN
DATA REPORTS ABOUT LOWER ROLE
MEANT A TEACHER PREP PROGRAMS
AND A LOT OF TEACHERS WHO ARE
EVEN VETERANS CONSIDERING
LEAVING THE CLASSROOM. AND EVEN
NOW IN TWENTY TWENTY THREE I
STILL GET ASKED THE QUESTION ARE
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO BE A
TEACHER. WHICH SHOWS THE
NEGATIVE PERCEPTION THAT WE HAVE
ON OUR PROFESSION AND WHEN I
THINK ABOUT THIS ISSUE NOT ONLY
AS A PROFESSION OVERALL BUT ALSO
THINKING ABOUT THE TEACHER
SHORTAGE. AND ARE EDUCATED WORK
FORCE NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT FILLING THOSE
CLASSROOMS WITH PEOPLE BUT WE
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT NOT ONLY HOW
QUALITY PREPARED THEY ARE BUT
ALSO ENSURING THAT OUR STUDENTS
HAVE TEACHERS THAT REFLECT THEM.
PARTICULARLY A SUSTAINABLE AND
DIVERSE TEACHING WORK FORCE AND
THE RESEARCH HAS BEEN SHOWN I AM
VERY CLEAR THAT WHEN STUDENTS-
HAVE A TEACHER COLOR ARE EVEN
HAVING A DIVERSE TEACHER
WORKFORCE THEY PARTICULARLY
BENEFIT A LOT. PARTICULARLY WHEN
WE SCENES DATA FROM CALIFORNIA
FROM TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN TO
TWENTY NINETEEN. APPROXIMATELY
61% OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
IDENTIFY AS NON HISPANIC WHITE.
WILL APPROXIMATELY 21%
IDENTIFIES. WHAT AND- HOW EVER
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SUIT POP.
IT'S THE REVERSE. 21% IS DUE
IDENTIFY. WHY WAS SIXTY ONE FOR
FIFTY SIX. IDENTIFY AS- THAT
ANY. AND IT'S A- THAT WE CAN TO
BE. A MORE DIVERSE TEACHING. AND
RECOGNIZE HOW EDUCATOR DIVERSITY
IS IMPORTANT. TEACH PLUS HAS
ALREADY KIND OF PUSH THAT
MISSION FOR TWO VERY STUDIES.
WHAT EDUCATORS OF COLOR
NATIONALLY AND IN CALIFORNIA TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR
EXPERIENCES- SO IN THE REPORT
THAT YOU SEE ATTACHED TO THE
GENDER IT'S TIME TO BE BOLD AND
DIVERSE OF FIRE TEACHER
WORKFORCE. WE EMPHASIZE A LOT
THAT THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATOR
DIVERSITY IS NOT NEW TO
CALIFORNIA LEADERS. AND WE'VE
HEARD FROM DIFFERENT PANELISTS
TODAY. THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A
LOT OF INITIATIVES TO. ADDRESS
NOT ONLY TEACHER SHORTAGES BUT
ALSO ADDRESSING EDUCATOR
DIVERSITY THAT'S IF SUPPORTERS
SAY PATHWAYS AS WELL AS LIKE THE
CREATION OF THE EDUCATOR
DIVERSITY ADVISORY GROUP JUST TO
NAME A FEW. HOWEVER LIKE DELL WE
ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION IT'S MORE IMPORTANT
THAT WE NEED TO BE FASTER ABOUT
THIS AND ALSO MAKING SURE THAT.
WE ARE LIKE INSURING LIKE THE
INCREASE MEANT OF EDUCATOR
DIVERSITY BECAUSE AGAIN AS I
MENTIONED WE'RE SEEING MORE
TEACHERS LEAVE THE CLASSROOM THE
STAY IN THEM. AND ALSO. LIKE AS
WE'VE SEEN BEFORE THAT A LOT OF
TEACHERS ARE LEAVING BEFORE
THEIR FIFTH YEAR WHICH IS A VERY
IMPORTANT TIME FOR LIKE TEACHERS
NOT ONLY MAKING CAREER DECISIONS
BUT WE SEEMED FROM THE DATA THAT
STUDENTS BENEFIT HEAVILY FROM
TEACHERS WHO ARE IN THE
CLASSROOM. LONGER TERM WE NEED
TO BE BIGGER BOLDER ACTIONS IN
ORDER TO START SHAPING THE
CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS
OF COLOR. BUT WHAT ARE SOME OF
THOSE ACTIONS AND WE'RE POOR WE
OUTLINED A FEW BUT TODAY GONNA
NAME ABOUT THE READ I WILL HAVE
THE GREATEST IMPACT ON
SUSTAINING. A DIVERSE EDUCATED
WORK FORCE. ONE IS INVESTING IN
TARGETED PREPARATION. AND
SUPPORT FOR EDUCATORS OF COLOR.
TO INVESTING IN. BENEFITS AND
REFERENCE. FOR EDUCATE. AND ALSO
THREE INVEST AND CITY OR TO
STRATEGY. LIKE FOSTERING TO
LEADERS OP. AND CAREER SUPPORT.
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE
RECRUITMENT IN SUPPORT OF A
DIVERSE TEACHER WORKFORCE NOT
ONLY INCREASES STUDENT
ENGAGEMENT. BUT ALSO INCREASE
THEIR LEARNING ALSO DECREASES
AND EXCLUSIONARY DISCIPLINE AND
ALSO OUTCOMES NOT ONLY FOR
STUDENTS OF COLOR BUT ALL
STUDENTS. AND THE REASON I COULD
SPEAK TO THAT TRULY TODAY IS
BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THOSE
STUDENTS. I WAS A STUDENT AND I
WAS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD YOU KNOW
SEEN IN THE NEWS AFTER A LONG
AGO. SURPRISE ONLY ABOUT LIKE
BLACK EYES MATTER AND TRAYVON
MARTIN. IN A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD
SEEN ANOTHER SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD
PASSED AWAY ABOUT A LOT OF
CONFUSION AND ANGER TO ME.
HOWEVER WHEN I HAD THE SUPPORT
AND LOVE OF LIKE MY ENGLISH
TEACHER MISS PENNY. WHO SHOW ME
THAT NOT ONLY DID I NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THE REAL WORLD
EXPERIENCES BUT EDUCATION WAS
MORE THAN WHAT THE WORDS WERE
TAUGHT IN THE CLASS IT WAS MORE
PUTTING THE LANGUAGE AND TOOLS.
TO MY LIVED EXPERIENCES THAT I
LIVE AND BREATHE EVERY DAY. AND
NOT ONLY DO I SHOW HER GRATITUDE
FOR HAVING ME LIKE PUSHING ME TO
BE HERE TODAY. BUT ALSO BECAUSE
OF THE IMPACT OCCURRED NOW I GET
TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON OTHER
STUDENTS OF COLOR. AND I ALWAYS
WONDERED IF WE COULD DO THIS FOR
MYSELF AND OTHER STUDENTS WHAT
CAN WE DO AS A SYSTEM AS A
WHOLE. AND IN ORDER TO DEVELOP
SOME OF THE STRONG TRICKS
TARGETED PREPARATION WE ALSO
MUST CONSIDERED THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO STATE MUST DO
TO SUPPORT AND EVALUATE. THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT
INVESTMENTS I WANTED THEM TO
SOME OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
FOR ALREADY BEING AT THIS POINT
ABOUT. HOW DO WE SEE THAT THE
CURRENT INVESTMENTS THAT WE'RE
MAKING NOW ARE TRULY HAVING A
BIG IMPACT ON THE TEACHER
PIPELINE. HOW DO WE SEE THAT THE
NUMBER OF TEACHERS IN THE
CLASSROOM ARE INCREASING YES WE
HAVE ANNUAL DATA POSTED ON TO
THE QUEST. AND ALSO THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD
SHOWING THE BREAKDOWN OF RACE
AND ETHNICITIES. HOWEVER WE DO
NOT HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT
IS CURRENTLY WITH. EACH
INVESTMENT NOR THE IMPLICATIONS
ON THE DEMOGRAPHIC MAKE UP THAT
HAS ON THE TEACHER WORKFORCE. SO
IT'S IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT
THE GREATER TRANSPARENCY OF NOT
ONLY IN DECENT FAST MENTOR
PROGRAMS. BUT OVERALL THE
OVERSIGHT AND THE MAKE UP OF OUR
TEACHER WORKFORCE AND MAKING
SURE THAT THEY HAVE. THE FULLEST
EFFECT THAT THEY HAVE THERE'S A
POST TO HAVE. ON OUR TEACHER.
AND ALSO NEVER PUT IN EVERY.
TEACHER LEADERS HAVE ALSO X. A
BIG. POINT YOU VALUE TEACHERS
DON'T JUST TELL US PHYLLIS.
TEACHERS ARE CALLING ON THE
STATE LEADERS TO ADDRESS. HIGH
COST ENTRIES INTO THIS
PROFESSION AND ALSO MAKE IT MORE
SUSTAINABLE- TO BE IN THIS
PROFESSION. ONE OF THE THINGS
THEY ACKNOWLEDGE WAS INCREASING
BEGINNING SALARIES. THE DIS OF
REFLECTIVE OF THE SKILLS
KNOWLEDGE AND WORK PERFORMED BY
EDUCATORS IN THE CLASSROOM. AND
I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT I DO
EXPERIENCE A LOT SO EARLIER YOU
ALL MENTIONED THE DIFFERENT
ROLES I HAVE. I AM ALSO I'M A
SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER FOR.
ELEVEN GREAT STUDENTS WHICH YOU
KNOW IN JUNIOR COLLEGE PREP IS A
VERY BIG. MOMENTS AND- I AM ALSO
A BLACK STUDENT UNION ADVISER
WHERE I TRY TO EMPOWER BLACK
STUDENTS TO SPEAK UNDER CULTURE
TO IDENTITIES. TO BE VERY SELF
DETERMINED. ALSO AS A SPECIAL
EDUCATION TEACHER I'M ALSO THE
CHAIR DEPARTMENT WHERE I HELP
MEET THE COMPLIANCE THE
DEADLINES. ALSO HIGH LEVELS OF
STRESS AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER
WHY WE HAVE A SHORTAGE IN
SPECIAL EDUCATION AS WELL. BUT
I'LL BE FOR ANOTHER DAY. AND I'M
ALSO AN INSTRUCTIONAL COACH AS
WELL WHERE I HELP AND SUPPORT.
OTHER RESOURCE TEACHERS AND
OTHER JANET TEACHERS TO THINK
ABOUT HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE THEIR
INSTRUCTION AND PROVIDING YOUR
SUPPORTS. TO OTHER. STUDENTS IN
THE CLASSROOM. AND IS THAT WITH
THE ONLY MY- IN CLASSROOM. AND
I'M NOT THE ONLY. WHO HAS TO
TAKE ON ADDITIONAL
RESPONSIBILITIES. IN ORDER TO
GET ADDITIONAL MONEY FROM
STIPENDS ARE THE RULES IN ORDER
TO MEET THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. AND ALSO
TODAY. WE NEED TO CONSIDER THAT
COMPENSATION IS MORE THAN A
SALARY. AS A PRODUCT BEFORE LIKE
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO HELP
FINANCIALLY SUSTAIN. TEACHERS TO
STAY IN THE CLASSROOM THAT I
WOULD ONLY TO WORRY ABOUT THE
NEXT MEAL OR CHOOSING BETWEEN
OTHER CAREERS BECAUSE THEY NEED
TO GET A PAY OFF STUDENT LOANS.
OR HELP PROVIDE A NEXT MEAL TO
THE KID IN THE CLASSROOM.
PROGRAMS SUCH AS STUDENT LOAN
FORGIVENESS HOME BUYING A RENTAL
ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS CHILDCARE
CREDITS IN TUITION ASSISTANCE.
TO HELP GREATLY REDUCE THE
FINANCIAL BURDEN TEACHERS FACE
WITHIN OUR STATE. AND AS I
MENTIONED BEFORE WE SHOULD ALSO
CONSIDER RETENTION STRATEGIES
LIKE FOSTERING TEACHER
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
BECAUSE WHEN WE ALLOW EDUCATORS
TO HAVE A VOICE IN DECISIONS
REGARDING THEIR PROFESSION THEIR
CURRICULUM. EVEN JUST WHAT IS
GOING INTO A LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT. IS EMPOWERING
BECAUSE WHEN YOU EMPOWER
EDUCATORS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO
CREATE THAT. THEY FEEL NOT ONLY
COLLABORATIVE WHEN SUPPORTED BUT
ALSO. FEELING VALUED AND
INCLINED TO STAY IN THE
CLASSROOM. AND SO ONE THING I
WANT TO REITERATE AND PUSH FOR
DISABILITY ALL OF WHICH WAS
BROUGHT UP WAS. NOT ONLY SHOULD
WE CONSIDER LIKE THE SHORT TERM
NEEDS. AND ADDRESSING THIS BUT
ALSO LIKE A LONG TERM GOAL OF
INCREASING EDUCATOR DIVERSITY-
PARTICULARLY THE MOST IMPORTANT
FOLKS THAT WE THINK ABOUT. OUR
STUDENTS WE NEED TO CONTINUE
INVESTING ON OUR STUDENTS
PARTICULARLY STUDENTS OF COLOR.
BY TRACKING THEM INTO THE
PROFESSION. THINGS WERE
MENTIONED. BEFORE THAT WAS
GREATLY- HOW FALL INTO THIS
GROUP IS YOUR OWN PROGRAM.
BECAUSE AGAIN WE TEACHER WHEN
STUDENTS BECAUSE THEM. AND
TEACHERS THE CLASSROOM OR EVEN
FOLKS COMING FROM THE COMMUNITY
THEY FEEL MORE INVESTED TO JUMP
INTO THAT PROFESSION. AND COME
BACK AND TEACH THE NEXT
GENERATION. AND SO WITH THAT.
THE TIME SIX I WILL SAY THANK
YOU AND I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS AT
THE END. ALL RIGHT MAN THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TESTIMONY DIED NEXT UP
VIRTUALLY WE HAVE
SUPERINTENDENT. DR LUCY VAN
SCIATIC WHO IS FROM THE TO

DISTRICT. OUR DISTRICT HAS AN
ENROLLMENT OF ABOUT FIVE
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY
STUDENTS 77% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE

USING A PET AND THEN WE HAVE
NINE INTERESTS IT IS REALLY HARD
HAS BEEN REALLY HARD IN THE LAST
FEW YEARS FOR US TO FIND.
TEACHERS WHO ARE FULLY
CREDENTIALED TO COME AND TEACH
FOR US. SO WE DO HAVE I MEAN
SOMETIMES THERE AREN'T ALWAYS
BENEFITS TO BEING A WORLD
COMMUNITY BUT I DO FEEL THAT WE
HAVE SOME BENEFITS WE HAVE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH HAS
BEEN MENTIONED A LOT TODAY. HE
JUST CAN'T MAKE A DECENT LIVING-
LIVING IN OUR AREA. AND THEN
BEING A SMALLER COMMUNITY WE'RE
BIG ON RELATIONSHIPS- WE DO OUR
BEST TO CONNECT WITH OUR
STUDENTS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND A LOT OF TIMES OUR STUDENTS
WANT TO GET BACK LIKE BABY.
THIRTY TWO HAVE GIVEN TO THEM
AGAIN I WAS AN ENGLISH LEARNER.
THE REASON I'M HERE TODAY AS
SUPERINTENDENT OF HER HIGH
SCHOOL DISTRICT IS BECAUSE OF
THE TEACHERS IN MY DISTRICT AND

LOTS OF STABBING CONCERNS ARE-
MOST. AREAS LOSING SUBJECT. MATH
SIGN. AND ENGLISH ARE THE
HARDEST TO STAFF. AND IN OUR- OR
LOCAL. UNIVERSITIES ARE GRAN IN
THE MATH TEACHERS AND THE COLD
IT HAS REALLY I. THEM ISSUE- WE
HAD THIS. FOR TWO OR MORE YEARS
THAT WE'RE GETTING ADEQUATE MATH
AND SHE- W. WE NEED TO BE ABLE
TO. THEM AND THAT MEANS MORE SIX
AND WE'RE NOT A TO ALL THE- NEW
THAT WE RIGHT NOW. SO I WANTED
TO TALK TO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
MATH- WE HAVE A TEACHER THIS
YEAR WHO US WHO WAS ON A- SHORT
TERM. MOMENTUM AND THEY WERE NOT
ABLE TO PASS OR C. SAID IN A
TIMELY MANNER SO WE HAD TO
REMOVE THEM FROM THE CLASSROOM
SEMESTER. WE HAVE NOT FOUND A
REPLACEMENT FOR THAT TEACHERS
ARE CURRENTLY ON ONE OF OUR
SCHOOLS. WE HAVE A STUDENTS WHO
SINCE JANUARY HAVE BEEN TOP A
LONG TERM SUB BECAUSE
UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T FIND
SOMEONE. TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM.
AND THEN FOR NEXT YEAR WE ARE
GOING TO BE IN NEED OF THREE
ADDITIONAL TEACHERS MATH
TEACHERS. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED
RECRUITING BUT IT'S DIFFICULT.
SCIENCES AMERICA AND OTHER
HIGHER YOU WOULD NEED- AT THE
BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR WE WERE
FORCED TO REMOVE THE BIOLOGY
TEACHER FROM MY CLASSROOM- AND
WE SHOULD COMING TO US FROM A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE- SHE TAUGHT
BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY. BUT SHE
CAN PASS HE SAID. IN WE HAVE TO
REMOVE HER THE CLASS. WE'RE
CURRENTLY IN A CHEMISTRY
POSITION NEXT YEAR AT THIS. WE
HAVE NO UP FOR THE POSITION.
SPECIAL ED IS GREAT AREA OF NEED
. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE.
EXPERIENCING THE CLASS IN ROME.
THE NUMBER SPECIAL ED STUDENTS
CONTINUES INCREASE. SO WE- ADDED
SPECIAL ED. TEACHER THIS IN OUR
- AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MORE A
NEED FOR NEXT YEAR. AND THEN
TEGO- WE TO HAVE THIS AMAZING
ELECTRON PROGRAM AT ONE OF OUR
HIGH SCHOOL. AT THE TWO. WOULD
AND HAVE NO BEEN TO. ANYONE FOR
THAT PRO SO ACTUALLY WENT AWAY
THE LIKE. FOR WE HAVE. A PRE
PROGRAM THAT WOULD OFFER A ONE
OF THE WORST. BUT THE MAJORITY
OF THOSE TEACHERS ARE OUR OWN
SCIENCE TEACHERS THEY ARE NOT
THEY DON'T HAPPEN TO TEACH
FINANCIAL SO WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN. CURRENTLY OUR DISTRICT WE
HAVE TO FIFTY FOUR MRS. WE HAVE
NINETY MISTER. TEACHERS THEY
DON'T HAVE CITY. BUT WE CAN'T
WITH INDUSTRY. I AM WAGES WHICH

THREE G. REQUIREMENTS AND WORK
ELIGIBLE TO APPLY DIRECTLY TO

BECAUSE OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT
WE WERE ABLE TO PUT INTO PLACE.
BUT I WANTED TO SHOW UP THIS
QUOTE HERE WILL QUICK BECAUSE-
PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE A LITTLE
MORE. FRAGILE THE PRESENTER
BEFORE THE SHARED THERE'S A LOT
ON EVERYONE'S PLATE RIGHT NOW.
AND IT IS IT IS A VERY TOUGH
TIME FOR EDUCATION. TEACHER HAS
NEVER TEACHING HAS NEVER BEEN
EASY BUT IT'S DEFINITELY MORE
DIFFICULT. STUDENTS ARE ACTIVE
WITH THE BEHIND THERE BEHIND
SOCIALLY. THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL-
CONCERNS WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH
. WE WILL NEVER EXPERIENCED
ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE WE DID
NOT HAVE SOCIAL WORKERS OUT OF
SCHOOL SELECT UNTIL LAST SCHOOL
YEAR. AND OUR SOCIAL WORKERS
CURRENTLY WE HAVE A STARK SOCIAL
WORKER AT EACH OF OUR
COMPREHENSIVE SITE AND THEN WE
PARTNER WITH OUR COUNTY OFFICE

PROFESSION BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THESE ONE TIME IS EXHAUSTED. SO
MY LAST. PIECE IS THE TEACHER
SHORTAGE IS REAL WHEN HE MATH

SHARED WITH YOU GUYS OUR THE
MAJORITY RUSSIANS ARE HISPANIC

WITHOUT COMPLETING THE T. P.
A.'S THERE ARE 800-021-2000 OF
THESE TEACHERS HIRED AS
PROBATIONARY EDUCATORS. I CAN
TELL YOU SOME THINGS ABOUT THEM
SINCE TWENTY TWENTY THESE
EDUCATORS PROBABLY COMPLETED
THEIR BITS INDUCTION PROGRAM
HOWEVER DISTRICTS CANNOT
RECOMMEND THEM FOR PROFESSIONAL
CLEAR BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T
PASSED CITY PIECE. AS TWENTY
TWENTY THESE EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN
EVALUATED MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY
YEAR BY THEIR SIDE
ADMINISTRATOR. ASSUMING THEIR
SUCCESS THESE TEACHERS WERE
RECOMMENDED FOR PROBATIONARY TO
PERMANENT STATUS. THE CALIFORNIA
WILL LOSE THESE TEACHERS IF THEY
DO NOT PASS THESE EXAMS. I AM
WORKED WITH THESE TEACHERS ON
THE BUBBLE GROUP AND MANY
DISCUSS LEAVING THE PROFESSION
IF THEY'RE FORCED TO COMPLETE
THEIR T. P. A.'S BECAUSE T. P.
A.'S ARE PRE SERVICE WORK. SOME
OF THESE TEACHERS WERE INTERNS
BEFORE THEY BECAME PRELIMINARY
TEACHERS SO THEY'VE BEEN
TEACHING AFTER SIX YEARS WITHOUT
THE T. P. A.'S AND THEY'VE BEEN
SUCCESSFUL. WHY WOULD THE STATE
HOLD A TEST AS OBSTACLE. SIXTY
RECORD TO REDUCE FINANCIAL
BARRIERS TO PRE SERVICE TEACHERS
NEW TEACHERS TO BEGIN WITH MANY
TEACHERS ARE FORCED TO PAY TO
CLEAR THE CREDENTIAL IN
ADDUCTION. ADDUCTION REPLACE THE
FORMER BITS ONE BIT SO WHAT'S IN
PLACE IT WAS PROTECTED UNDER A
BLOCK GRANT THE CLEARING YOUR
PRELIMINARY CREDENTIAL WAS FREE
NOW WITH LCF FUNDING. INDUCTION
IT JUST DEPENDS SO EVEN OUR
LARGEST DISTRICT IN OUR STATE LA
UNIFIED CHARGES THEIR TEACHERS
TO CLEAR THE CREDENTIAL AND-
INDUCTION AS A TWO YEAR PROCESS
IN A COST BETWEEN. TWENTY TWO
HUNDRED TO FIVE THOUSAND A YEAR
TO CLEAR YOUR CREDENTIAL.
STUDENT TEACHING AS A BARRIER
FINANCIAL STRESS IS A MAJOR
FACTOR WHY MANY STUDENTS ARE NOT
INNER FINISH A TEACHING PREP
PROGRAM. FOR EXAMPLE MANY
STUDENTS CANNOT AFFORD TO
STUDENT TEACH FOR FREE. IN FACT
DATA SHOWS THAT STUDENTS OF
COLOR ARE LESS LIKELY TO BECOME
TEACHERS DUE TO FINANCIAL
HARDSHIPS. PAID STUDENT TEACHING
ALLEVIATE UNDER STRESS ENCOURAGE
MORE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE PREP
PROGRAMS. THEY ALSO SHOWS THAT A
LARGE MAJORITY OF TEACHERS
REPORTED IT'S DIFFICULT TO
AFFORD HOUSING ON A TEACHER'S
SALARY. TO KEEP UP WITH BASIC
LIVING EXPENSES SAVE FOR
RETIREMENT PROVIDE FOR THEIR
CHILDREN MY PERSONAL EXAMPLES
AND MY DISTRICT THERE'S A FOR
YOUR TEACHER. I MEAN A TEACHER
HE'S A VETERAN TEACHER FOR
YEARS. IF SHE CHOOSES THE WILL
AT LEAST EXPENSIVE MEDICAL
OPTION AT OUR DISTRICT. AND HER
MONTHLY PAYCHECK 40% OF. THAT
GOES TO COVER HER MEDICAL
EXPENSES. I'M MY FRIEND MY
NEIGHBOR. TWINS GRADUATED FROM
NURSING SCHOOL THREE YEARS AGO
THEIR ANNUAL SALARY INDIVIDUALLY
AS MORE THAN MINE AND I'VE BEEN
TEACHING TWENTY SIX YEARS. I AM
I AM NOT ALONE OF MY PEERS WE
HAVE SIDE JOBS I'VE TAUGHT- AT
THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR
TEN YEARS TEACHING NIGHT SCHOOL.
AT SUMMER I AM. I'VE SLAPPED
DRINKS AT THE COUNTY FAIR. I
HAVE SOLD TICKETS AT- VIA SOCCER
GAMES I DO THIS TO PROVIDE FOR
MY FAMILY I MOVED FROM THE BAY

SO I COULD AFFORD A HOME. THE
LAST RECOMMENDATION I HAVE IS
CLASS SIZE REDUCTION A
REASONABLE FOR CLASS FOR
CALIFORNIA'S CLASS SIZE IS A
PROGRAM THAT PLACES CALIFORNIA
AND UPPER QUARTILE OF LOW CLASS
SIZES IN THE UNITED STATES. WITH
CLASS SIZE CALVET CALCULATED ON
A TRUE TEACHER TWO PEOPLE
FACIAL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND I EAGERLY
AWAIT YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TESTIMONY- I HAVE TWO
QUICK QUESTIONS I'LL TURN OVER
TO MY COLLEAGUES- ON THE FIRST
AID AND IT ACTUALLY WAS START
WITH YOU MISS BONTA. WHEN I
ASKED FOR SOME OTHERS IN
INSTRUCTIONS TO PRINT TENANTS.
WHICH STATE LEVEL INITIATIVES WE
WITH THAT YOU KNOW WE DISCUSSED
MANY DO YOU BELIEVE ARE HAVING
THE BIGGEST POSITIVE IMPACT
CURRENTLY A TEACHER RECRUITMENT.
AND RETENTION I THINK THE TPS
FOR BOTH THE BUBBLE BROKE AND
ASPIRING TEACHERS. AND THEN THE
FINANCIAL STRESS THE FINITE
FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. THOSE ARE
THE CHALLENGES WHICH WHICH OF
THE CURRENT INITIATIVES THAT THE
STATE IS INVESTING OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS. I DO THINK ARE
HELPFUL- I HAVE I KNOW THE
STATUS FOR A LOT OF MONEY INTO
EDUCATION- FOR MY PERSONAL
OPINION IT'S BEEN ALL THOSE- WE
NOW HAVE MORE MONEY FOR M.
PAIRED FOR TUTORING. WE HAVE
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL- HEALTH
INITIATIVES THINGS LIKE THAT
THAT ARE BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
DURING SCHOOL THAT AND THESE
KIDS ARE SO ISOLATED. AND
THEY'RE NOT CONNECTING AND
THEY'RE BEHIND SO THINGS LIKE
THAT HAVE REALLY BEEN HELPING.
DOES THE SUPERINTENDENT AND ON
YOUR YOUR PERSONAL COULD WHAT
WHICH STATE LEVEL. AT HAVE YOU
SEEN YOU THINK YOU'RE HAVING A
BIG POSITIVE IMPACT ON
RECRUITMENT. RETENTION SO FOR.
THE RECRUITMENT I DO FEEL LIKE
THE- FOR THE- EMPLOYEES GRANT
THAT ALLOWED TO GO. AND ASK.
WHEN THEY THEIR CREDIT I THINK
BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL I WOULD.
GONNA HAPPEN THAT ONE. AND THEN
I ALSO THE PIECE OF THE IS THE
GRAY. ARE THE LONG- SPECIAL.
WE'RE ENTITLED SCHOOL AT.
BECAUSE TALKING ONE SCHOOL FROM
PEOPLE IT'S TO GET. FOR SO I
BELIEVE THAT THOSE AROUND ARE
ALSO. BEEN AND WE HAVEN'T OF TO.
THAT BRING IN. THERE ARE GRAN
FOR US TO OFF ON CIVIC GET THEIR
. THEIR LOANS WERE. THANK YOU IN
THERE THAT'S HAVE A SIGNATURE
QUESTION. MISBACH ON ONE OF
THESE T. REX IF YOU WAS TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE LOOK AT
TEACHING AS HE SAID CAREER AND I
WAS FOR THAT- THIS HAS BEEN THE
WASN'T SOME COME UP IN
ANYBODY'S. PRIOR I CHOICE MISTER
TO GEAR AND MISSED YOU STILL
HEAR WHAT WHICH YOU MIND. WE
DOES THAT IN WHERE SHOULD FIT IN
- TO OF THE INNER THEY WERE
CURRENT PURSUING THAT WHICH IS
FIFTY. RECRUITING TEACHERS THE
WAY WHO MIGHT BEEN TO SOMETHING
ELSE AS A UP THAT- AN DAN- HOW
WOULD YOU WAIT THAT OR INCLUDE
INCOME THE LARGEST. SO THAT WE
SAY HAVE JUST BUT WITH THE BIG
CHALLENGE HOW DO I DON'T WHO
THESE PEOPLE ARE- WHERE HOPE.
YOU KNOW WITH OUR CAREER
COUNSELORS THAT WE WILL BE READY
FOR THEM WHEN THEY SAY OKAY I
WANT TO TEACH. BUT IN TERMS OF
GOING OUT AND ACTUALLY
RECRUITING PEOPLE IN OTHER
PROFESSIONS- THAT. WE'VE
STRUGGLED WITH HOW WE WOULD
ACTUALLY DO THAT. IT ARE THERE
ARE THE RESOURCES YOU KNOW FOR
THOSE WHO ARE AS HER PRACTICALLY
SEEKING TO MAKE THAT CHANGE
SHOULD YOU EITHER IT. SHOULD
PROVIDE REFUGEES HERE THE
RESOURCES. I THINK THERE'S A LOT
OF GOOD RE. AVAILABLE WHEN YOU
COMBINE THE GOLDEN STATE TEACHER
GRANTS. WITH A RESIDENCY- IF
THAT'S NOT QUITE A LIVABLE WAGE
WE'VE YOU KNOW IS WHAT THE
RESEARCH IS SHOWING. BUT IT
CERTAINLY HELPS A LOT- AS YOU'VE
HEARD FROM A NUMBER OF
PANELISTS- A LOT OF TIMES THEY
THINK PEOPLE WHO WORK. CHANGING
CAREERS WILL CHOOSE THE
INTERNSHIP. WHICH MEANS THEIR
TEACHER OF RECORD WHILE THEY'RE
DOING THEIR TEACHER PREPARATION
PROGRAM. IT'S NOT IDEAL BUT
FINANCIALLY THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
SOME PEOPLE CAN MAKE IT WORK.
AND RISKY IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND
IF HE DOES THIS REPRESENT A
PROMISING SOURCE OF. YOUR
PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS NEWS SO HOW
SHOULD WE ADDRESS IT YEAH IT'S A
GREAT QUESTION- AND WE SHOULD BE
TAPPING EVERY SOURCE WE CAN. I'D
SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS ONE-
WE'VE HEARD TODAY FROM OTHERS
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF GROW
YOUR OWN PROGRAMS LIKE THOSE
CLASSIFIED STAFF TEACHER
TRAINING PROGRAMS WE HAVE A LOT
OF PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN OUR
SCHOOLS. WHO WANT TO CONTINUE TO
GROW THEY'LL BE PAID MORE AS
THEY MOVE UP THE LADDER INTO
TEACHING BOTH EARLY EDUCATORS
PARA EDUCATORS YOU KNOW. SCHOOL
BUS DRIVERS AND CAFETERIA
WORKERS THAT OPTION IS THERE-
AND I THINK IT'S ONE TO CONTINUE
TO GROW AND BUILD TO THOSE
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT BEING IN SCHOOL
IS LIKE AND- AND WANTED TO DO
THAT WORK IN STATE. I THINK FOR
CAREER CHANGERS- COMPENSATION IS
TEACH INTO IN TEACHING IS JUST
GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE
IT'S NOT A WELL PAID. PROFESSION
TEACHERS MAKE ABOUT EIGHTY CENTS
ON THE DOLLAR WHAT OTHER COLLEGE
EDUCATED PROFESSIONALS MAKE EVEN
WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE
SHORTER WORK HERE- SO I THINK
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE
TO. MAKE PROGRESS THERE TO
REALLY MAKE IT AN ATTRACTIVE
SECOND CAREER- UNLESS SOMEONE'S
COMING IN WITH A LOT OF
FINANCIAL. RESOURCES TO
ASSISTING. YOUR DINNER AND I PER
REFERENCE GROW HONOR THERE'S
LESS. PENDING TO TRY TO SEE. THE
AND ANY MY COLLEAGUE QUESTIONS
LESS THAN. SO SMOKERS. WELL
FIRST I WANT TO JUST SAY TO ALL.
US IN THIS. PANEL FOR YOU- I
HEARD YOU- AND- RECOGNIZE THE
SACRIFICE THAT YOU'RE MAKING- TO
GIVE AN EDUCATION. QUALITY
EDUCATION TO- OUR FUTURE LEADERS
I AND- FROM A- THE PRISONER WHO
SPOKE ABOUT. TWENTY SEVEN YEARS
AND HAVING TO SERVE. SELL DRINKS
AT THE STATE FAIR- TO MISTER
SALAS- LAYING OUT ALL OF THE
RESPONSIBILITIES- THAT HE IS
DOING BUT OUR EARNING ONLY ONE
PAYCHECK. THAT DOESN'T MAKE
ENDS. MEET WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO
GO- IN MAKING SURE THAT THIS OP
PROFESSION- GETS PAID AND
RECOGNISED AND VALUED IN THE
DIGNITY THAT IT ABSOLUTELY-
DESERVES AND I KNOW- MY- THE
CHAIR OF OUR BUDGET SUB WE HAVE
TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT IN OUR
TRACKING ON ON ON- THE
INVESTMENT DIRECTLY IN
SUSTAINING THE LIVES OF FOLKS
WHO ARE DOING THIS WORK EVERY
DAY- I WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION
I WAS REALLY- STRUCT ABOUT. TWO
THINGS THE T. P. A- COMING OUT
OF HIGHER ED SOMETIMES WHEN
THERE ARE A LOT OF ASSESSMENTS
BACK TO BACK TO BACK YOU
QUESTION WELL WHAT AM I GETTING
OUT OF THIS PROCESS THAT IS
ACTUALLY GOING TO HELP ME DO
BETTER THAT'S ARE GONNA IMPROVE
THE SYSTEM. I'M WHAT BENEFITS DO
THE TEACHERS THEMSELVES AND GET
OUT OF THIS DPA OTHER THAN
HAVING TO DO- WHAT SEEMS TO BE-
JUST A SIGNIFICANT LEVEL OF
PREPARATION AND- IN TRAINING I'M
I'M CURIOUS ABOUT. HOW MUCH
FEEDBACK ANALYSIS ACTUAL TIME IS
SPENT IN SORT OF US ANALYZING
THESE ASSESSMENTS AND THEN
ACTUALLY PUTTING SOMETHING IN
THAT CAN BE USEFUL AND HELPFUL.
AM I WILL I'D LIKE TO BEGIN
THERE IS A HAND OUT WITH THE
DATA- AND SOURCES BUT THERE IS
DATA THAT CONFLICTS ON HOW.
USEFUL THE TVA'S ARE. AND IT'S
TAKING AWAY TIME FROM THE
STUDENT TEACHING WHERE YOUR YOUR
HANDS ON LEARNING WITH THAT
MENTOR TEACHER BUT INSTEAD
YOU'RE WORKING ON HOW TO PASS
THE T. P. A.'S. ONE I SAID A
HUNDRED PAGES THAT IS THAT'S
TRUE. I'M IN THE LAST- LAST YEAR
AND THE YEAR BEFORE WITH THE
COVE A BIBLE GROUP AM I WENT TO
SATURDAY SCHOOL AT OUR LOCAL
STATE COLLEGE WITH THEM ARE
DISTRICT PAID FOR THEM TO TRY TO
AND WORK ON THEIR GPAS. AND I AM
FOR T. PAY CYCLE ONE AND TWO AND
I WOULD GO WITH THESE TEACHERS
AND WE WOULD MEET AT STARBUCKS
AFTERWARDS OR TRY TO. RIDE OUT
THE DETAILED INFORMATION THAT IS
NEEDED ABOUT HOW I WILL TEACH.
AND IT COMES FROM A GOOD PLACE
BUT IT'S TOO MUCH IT'S INSANELY
TOO MUCH WORK OF VIDEOTAPING AND
STOPPING IN. AND WRITING DOWN
AND TALK ABOUT WHAT I'M GOING TO
DO THIS IS WHAT I DID THIS IS
WHAT I WILL DO. AND LITTLE
PIECES THE NUANCES THAT YOU
MIGHT NOT MEET IF YOU'RE VIDEO
TAPING A LESSON AND YOU DIDN'T
INCLUDE THEM THIS IS WHAT WILL
TEACH NEXT TIME. BECAUSE AT YOUR
SCHOOL DISTRICT WE DO ACCEPT
TICKETS AND THEY SAID EXTRA
TICKET WHICH IS ABOUT YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LESSON. AND
IF YOU ITS AUTOMATIC. FAIL IF
YOU DIDN'T IN THIS ONE PART OF
THE T. PA. MENTION I'M NOT GOING
TO AND THIS IS WHAT I'M TEACHING
NEXT TIME. AND SO IF YOU MISSED
THOSE DIRECTIONS ESPECIALLY THE
BUBBLE GROUP WHO IS TEACHING
FULL TIME IT'S DEVASTATING. IT
COSTS A LOT OF MONEY IT'S A LOT
OF TIME. AND IT DOESN'T HONOR
THEIR FIRST THREE YEARS OF
TEACHING HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT
CHANGES. M. TEACHING ONLINE
TEACHING WITH PIXIE GLASS
TEACHING THE A B. GROUP HOW TO
WALK TO THE CAFETERIA THERE'S
RULES FOR EVERYTHING. AND NOW
WE'RE SAYING THEY HAVE TO GO
BACK AND PROVE TO US THAT. THAT
THEY'RE GOOD AT THEIR JOB.
THEY'VE BEEN EVALUATED THEY'VE
WORKED IN THE CALIFORNIA
STANDARDS IS TEACHING PROFESSION
FOR THE TV'S THROUGH INDUCTION
THROUGH THEIR FORMAL EVALUATIONS
WITH THEIR MENTOR STREETERS
THEY'VE DONE THAT OVER AND OVER
AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING
THAT THERE THERE ISN'T
NECESSARILY ANYTHING THAT'S
COMING BACK THAT'S BENEFICIAL
FOR- OF THOSE TEACHERS AND IT'S
REPLICATING- INFORMATION THAT WE
ALREADY HAVE I APPRECIATE THAT.
MY LAST QUESTION. OR TWO HAS TO
DO WITH THE DIVERSITY PEACE AND
THIS GOES TO WHAT MR SALAS. LAID
OUT IN I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND-
IS THERE DATA ON SCHOOL
DISTRICTS. RETENTION RATES
BEFORE AND AFTER CODED THAT
LOOKS AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF
THOSE TEACHERS. I DON'T KNOW WHO
MIGHT HAVE THAT NO OF. ANY OF
THE PRISONERS NO WHERE THAT DATA
MIGHT BE IN TERMS OF RETENTION
RATE FOR. EDUCATORS OF COLOR.
WOMEN OF I THINK SO BASED ON THE
REPORT AND WE SAW THE LAST DATA
SAID THAT WE'VE SEEN IS TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN TO TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN AND THAT WAS
BECAUSE OF YOU KNOW WE WENT INTO
THE PANDEMIC INTEREST PAUSES ON
MY COLLECTION. OKAY THAT- AS OF
THE LAST DAYS THAT WE HAVE IT.
FROM WHAT PROPOSED IN THE REPORT
SO. OKAY AND IS THERE ANY
PARTICULAR FOCUS I KNOW WE
TALKED ABOUT THE INCREASE IN
LATIN NEXT TEACHERS WHICH IS
REALLY EXCITING TO SEE 37% THAT
IS AMAZING WHAT ARE WE SEEING IN
TERMS OF A BLACK INSTRUCTORS
WHAT ARE THOSE. NUMBERS LOOKING
LIKE IN THE- THURMOND FACE VALUE
TO SET ME. IN THE SENSE YOU KNOW
IT'S STILL IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
LIKE- US TO CHECK WITH ABOUT.
45% OF TEACHERS ARE BLACK
EDUCATORS AND I KNOW THAT
THERE'S BEEN INITIATIVES ACROSS
OTHER STATES WHO INCREASING-
BLACK TEACHERS OVERALL- IN TERMS
OF LIKE CALIFORNIA THAT'S KIND
OF LIKE THE PUSH FOR HOPING THAT
LIKE WOULD DATA TRANSPARENCY
LIKE- TWO ONE HAVE THAT NUMBER
LIKE ALL RIGHT WHAT IN TERMS OF
DIFFERENT ELEAZAR DISTRICTS HOW
MANY BLACK TEACHERS DO WE HAVE.
OVERALL AND THEN THINKING ABOUT
NOT ONLY JUST A PERCENTAGE OF
COMING INTO THE CLASSROOM BUT
ALSO RETAIN HIM SO LIKE WHAT IS
THE PERCENTAGE OF LIKE- HOW MANY
OF PERCENTAGE OF LIKE BLACK
TEACHERS ARE STAYING AT YOUR
SCHOOL SITE BECAUSE AGAIN BACK
TO THE REPORT WAS. WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE WE'RE IN NOT ONLY JUST
BRINGING TEACHERS IN THE
CLASSROOM BUT ALSO KEEPING THEM
THERE AS WELL SO. GREAT AND YOU
SAID THAT WROTE THE REPORT CAME
OUT BEFORE COBIT IS WHEN IS THE
NEXT SORT OF- NOT THE DATA SAID
WAS THERE FOR THE REPORT JUST
CAME OUT JUST IF YOU. GOT IT.
THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU MISTER
YOUR I THINK WANTED TO RESPOND
TO SOME OF THE INPUT ABOUT TBH
YEAH OF THAT AND I CAN ALSO GIVE
YOU A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT
BLACK TEACHERS SO- WHAT WE SEE
IS KIND OF A FLAT. LINE IN TERMS
OF ENROLLMENT AND. COMPLETION OF
BLACK. KENNETH BLACK. WHO ARE
GOING INTO TEACHER PREP PROGRAMS
INCOME. THEM WHERE YOU KNOW WITH
THE LAW. LATINO LATINO TEACHERS
DEFINITE INCREASE. AND I DIDN'T
WANT TO ADDRESS A CPA- SO THE
PURPOSE OF THE TVA IS TO GET
HELP. TEACHER CANDIDATES GET
INTO THE HABIT. OF THE CYCLE OF
PLANNING. TEACHING AND ASSESSING
REFLECTING ON THEIR TEACHING AND
WHAT THEIR ASSESSMENTS TELL THEM
AND THEN APPLYING WHAT THEY'VE
LEARNED. SO IF. IN MANY I MEAN
IT REALLY DEPENDS UPON THE
CONTEXT OF YOUR PREPARATION
PROGRAM AND YOUR PLACEMENT. BUT
A LOT OF PEOPLE DO HAVE A VERY
POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WITH. THE
T. PA AND WE'VE HEARD A NUMBER
OF CANDIDATES SAY THAT IS REALLY
PREPARE THEM FOR WHEN THEY GO ON
TO- THE NATIONAL BOARD PROCESS.
BECAUSE THE T. PAY REALLY IS
SOMEWHAT BASED OFF OF THE
NATIONAL BOARD PROCESS. WHERE
YOU DO HAVE TO VIDEOTAPE AND YOU
HAVE TO REFLECT ON YOUR OWN
TEACHING. SO WE REALLY YOU KNOW
AS FAR AS THE COMMISSION
STANDARDS CO. REFLECTIVE
PRACTITIONERS IS ONE OF OUR
PRIMARY GOALS THAT WE WANT ALL
OF OUR TEACHERS. TO REFLECT ON
THEIR TEACHING SEE WHAT THEY'RE
LEARNING FROM THEIR ASSESSMENT
SEE WHAT IT'S TELLING THEM ABOUT
THEIR STUDENTS AND THEN MAKE
CHANGES BASED ON WHAT THEY
LEARN. AND ON THE FIRST POINT
ABOUT THE- FLAT LINE ON THE
BLACK A TEACHER- COMING INTO AND
RETAIN BEING RETAINED WHAT IS
BEING DONE TO ADDRESS THAT
FLATLINE. WELL I THINK IT'S
CLEARLY NOT ENOUGH. AND I MEAN
THIS IS PERSONAL OPINION NOT-
COMMISSION. OPINION BUT I THINK
SO MANY BLACK STUDENTS HAVE A
NEGATIVE. EXPERIENCE IN K.
TWELVE EDUCATION THAT THEY THINK
MASSIVE SELL WHY WHEN I WANT TO
BECOME A TEACHER. THERE'S A
SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT SAY I WANT
TO CHANGE THIS SO THAT PEOPLE
WHO LOOK LIKE ME HAVE A BETTER
EXPERIENCE IN K. TWELVE- BUT I
THINK THE SALUTE PART OF THE
SOLUTION IS REALLY INTERESTING
WHAT HAPPENS IN K. TWELVE. SO
YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE STUDENTS
NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT IS WHY THERE'S
NO INTENTIONAL EFFORTS- AT YOUR
LEVEL TO ENSURE THAT WE DO A
BETTER JOB OF RECRUITING AND
RETAINING BLACK EDUCATIONAL I
THINK I AND I THINK THAT'S THE
UNDERLYING BECAUSE THERE THERE
IS- THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS
GOING ON ESPECIALLY. ON THE
SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC
CONSTRUCTION HAS LED A NUMBER OF
OUR FIRST TRYING TO GET MORE. OF
ESPECIALLY BLACK STUDENTS MALE
BLACK STUDENTS A NUMBER OF
DISTRICTS ARE DOING THE SAME-
FRESNO- NOT JUST THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT BUT THE COUNTY AS A
WHOLE- IS REALLY. HAS SOME
STRONG EFFORTS TO GET MORE MALE
BLACK TEACHERS- THE. AS FAR AS
OUR GRANT PROGRAMS AND THE
THINGS THAT WE ADMINISTER- THE
THAT'S- SOMETHING THAT WE
EMPHASIZED AND AS WE HAVE IN
REPORT ANOTHER SEPARATE PORTED.
THE DIVERSITY AMONG OUR
RESIDENTS AND OUR- CLASSIFIED
STAFF WHO ARE SUPPORTED THROUGH
THOSE PROGRAMS IS HIGH. BUT FOR
AND I DON'T THINK WE COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND WHY. THERE'S KIND OF
A FLAT LINED WITH BLACK
CANDIDATES. WELL THOUSAND THERE
NEEDS TO BE SOME RESEARCH DONE
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS AND-
BEYOND EMPHASIZING HOW DO YOU
OPERATIONALIZE. RESOURCES TO
ADDRESS- I'M I'M I WOULD LOVE TO
HEAR MORE IN C. FEEDBACK ON WHAT
THOSE PROGRAMS ARE AND- WHAT
EFFORTS YOU THINK CAN BE TAKEN
TO ADDRESS THIS THIS DISPARITY I
THINK YOU KNOW THE FIRST STEP IS
FINDING OUT WHAT'S WORKING
AROUND THE STATE BECAUSE I THINK
THERE ARE PLACES. THAT ARE
HAVING SUCCESS. AND LOOK FORWARD
TO HEARING THAT- THE RESULTS OF
THAT INQUIRY BECAUSE I THINK
THAT HELPS TO DETERMINE WHERE TO
MAKE THE INVESTMENTS ON HOW TO
ADDRESS THE FLAT LINING OF THAT
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THANK
YOU CENTER PROPOSAL TAKEN MISS
BLOCKERS YOU ARE ON THE MOVE
THERE DID YOU WANT A BIG. HI I'M
DEBBIE SUPER CHERYL CAUGHT I'M
REPRESENTING STATE BRING. AND
OKAY I TO RESPOND TO THE
QUESTION THAT YOU RAISE SOME OF
THE WORK THAT WE HAVE BEEN
DOING- THE SUPERINTENDENT
CONVENED A GROUP OF. TEACHERS
AND EDUCATORS RESEARCHERS
PROFESSORS- IN TWO THOUSAND
TWENTY AND TWENTY ONE. TO FOCUS
ON DIVERSIFYING THE AT THE
TEACHER THE EDUCATED WORKFORCE
THAT GROUP CAME OUT WITH A
REPORT AND SO THERE'S LOTS OF
INFORMATION- AND RESEARCH THAT
HAS GONE INTO THAT BUT ALSO- HAS
CONVENED COMMUNITY OF PRACTICES-
SO WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING. TV HAS
BEEN SUPPORTING WORKING WITH
WEST THAT IS WORKING WITH OUR-
COUNTY OFFICES AND ELEAZAR ON
BEST PRACTICES WHAT ARE OTHER
DISTRICTS DOING SO THAT WORK IS
HAPPENING. I'M TRYING TO FOCUS
ON WHAT ARE WE DOING TO SUPPORT
OUR ARE BRINGING TEACHERS OF
COLOR INTO THE WORK FORCE- IN
ADDITION TO THAT AS THE
SUPERINTENDENT MENTIONED
EARLIER- NATIONAL BOARD
CERTIFICATION THOSE RECRUITING
BUT IT'S ALSO RETENTION.
RETAINING KIDS TEACHERS
PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT
REFLECTION PIECE BUT ALSO
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AS
WELL- WE ARE SUPPORTING FOLKS
COMING INTO THE PROFESSION- ARE
WHO WILL HAVE ART ARE NOVICES
OR- ARE VETERAN TEACHERS. WHO
HAVE- STEPPED INTO GETTING MORE
INFORMATION AROUND NATIONAL
BOARD CERTIFICATION SO WE HAVE
CERTIFICATION- SUBSIDIES AS WELL
AS INCENTIVES FOR THOSE FOLKS
WHO ARE WORKING IN HIGH PRIORITY
SCHOOLS WITH THAT SPECIAL
CERTIFICATION AS WELL. AND SO
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EFFORTS
THAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO PLACE TO
SUPPORT OUR AT OUR AFRICAN
AMERICAN TEACHERS ARE TEACHERS
OF COLOR BUT ALSO- TO RECRUIT AS
WELL- REALLY SUPPORTING AT THE
ELLIE A LEVEL IN THE COUNTY
OFFICE LEVEL. ON STRATEGIES TO
BRING FOLKS. THANK YOU FOR
SHARING THAT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE
THESE ARE SOME NEW INITIATIVES
THAT ARE JUST STARTING TO TAKE
HOLD IT WILL BE GOOD TO SEE. HOW
EFFECTIVE YES THEY ARE AND WHAT
IN IMPACT THEY'RE HAVING THANK
YOU FOR FORGIVING ME MORE IN ON
THAT MEASURE TERMS OF AND ON THE
YOU WANT TO RESPOND WITH RISK.
TO THE TP A DISK. AND LET AND I
WOULD I WOULD ASK YOU IN THE
SUBJECT A LONGER DISCUSSION THAT
WILL PROCEED BEYOND THIS HEARING
SO IF YOU COULD KEEP IT BRIEF. I
WON'T KEEP IT REFERS TO QUICK
POINTS. I'M IN MY HAND OUT- USE
SIDED HEART RESEARCH WHICH TALKS
ABOUT THE TVA'S. AND I'M JUST
GONNA SURE LITTLE BIT DATA BY
HART RESEARCH DEVELOPING A
STRATEGY FOR EVERY TEACHER
RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT
SEPTEMBER FIFTEENTH TWENTY TWO
SHOWS THAT. ONE IN THREE NEW
TEACHERS THINK THE T. PAY HAD A
NEGATIVE IMPACT. AND THREE FIVE
CURRENT TEACHERS BELIEVE THE
BETTER AND MORE ARRESTS
REALISTIC TEACHER PREPARATION
AND ASSESSMENT. SHOULD BE A TOP
. PRIORITY FOR IMPROVING TEACHER
RETENTION. AND OF CHANGES. AS
FAR AS A PREFERRED. REFLECT IS
SO IMPORTANT TEACHING SO I
DIDN'T WANT TO DISCOUNT THAT
WITH MY COMMENTS. INDUCTION HAS
A TEACH PLAN- REFLECT TO PLAY
PART IN IT. M. I. I THINK THE
REDUNDANCY IS PURPOSEFUL BUT I
DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S VERY
HELPFUL FOR NEW TEACHERS. AND
THEY- OVER AND OVER AGAIN
THEY'RE TOLD TO REFLECT I THINK
IT MIGHT HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECANT
SOMETHING THAT I SAID. IT MAY
NOT BE AN AUTOMATIC FAIL IF A
TEACHER FORGETS THE STATE IN A
T. PAY WHAT I WILL DO NEXT IT
MIGHT JUST BE. AB POINTS OFF.
AND YOUR BROADER YOUR BRA POINT
THE REGION OF THE PROCESSOR OR
WILL TAKE. SUITS THANK YOU. ANY
OF QUESTIONS FOR MY CAR TO OKAY

HI MY NAME IS TIFFANY WALKER
REPRESENTS CFT UNION OF
EDUCATORS AND CLASSIFY
PROFESSIONALS EDUCATING THE NEXT
GENERATION THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN
ONE OF AMERICANS. CALIFORNIA'S
HIGHEST PRIORITIES AT THE SAME
TIME AS YOUR FOR PANELISTS TODAY
PARTICULARLY THOSE IN THE FIELD-
THE DESIRE TO EDUCATE OUR NEXT
GENERATION DOES NOT PAY THE
BILLS IT DOES NOT INCREASE UP
HEEL THE WOUNDS FROM OUR ATTACK
ON PUBLIC EDUCATORS. AND WORK
YOUR THE HEALTH RISKS TEACHERS
FACE DURING THIS RECENT PANDEMIC
THAT THIS AMOUNTS ALTERNATELY
PUTTING OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION
AND RICH. IN THE SHORTAGE AT THE
SAME TIME I APPRECIATE. THIS
COMMITTEE ADDRESSING THE
DIVERSITY SHORTAGE AND HAVING
THIS FOCUSED WITH GREAT
QUESTIONS FROM. THE MEMBERS
HAVING A WORKFORCE THAT FAILS TO
REFLECT OUR STUDENTS THEY TEACH.
UP FAILED TO PROVIDE 
OPPORTUNITIES WE KNOW WE CAN
GIVE OUR STUDENTS IN THE STATE
FORTUNATELY THIS CRISIS IS
SOLVABLE. BY TREATING TEACHERS
AND SCHOOL STAFF LIKE THE
PROFESSIONALS THEY ARE INSURING
ADEQUATE PLANNING TIME. AND
INCREASING THE COMPENSATION. FOR
SCHOOL STAFF AND EDUCATORS.
WITHOUT THESE. WE WILL NOT BE A
TO EDUCATE ANOTHER. OF FUTURE
SENATOR LAYERED NEW. WHICH
PROVOKES. JESSE MAN. ON
CHRISTMAS. AND OF. FIFTY HAS A
TIE OF FOUR HERE TO GONE. WHICH
IS. MANY OF OUR STAFF AS OF ON A
WEBSITE I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER. AND
BE AVAILABLE WHENEVER ANYONE IS.
RICHARDSON YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY GOOD MORNING HI GOOD
MORNING SENATORS MINIMUS
RECOMMENDS HE WITH THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS REPRESENT OVER
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND INDUSTRY-
STATEWIDE. AND ARE THE LARGEST
STATEWIDE ASSOCIATION
REPRESENTING ADMINISTRATORS
NATIONWIDE. I'M JUST WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXCHANGE I WAS
BROUGHT UP BY- SENATORS PUBLIC
THIS- DURING THE FIRST PANEL AND
AS WELL AS A LITTLE BIT ON THE
THIRD PANEL JUST SHARE THE
SENTIMENT ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF UNDERSTANDING ON THESE DATA
POINTS. AND UNDERSTAND THE NEED
THAT WE SEE IN THE FIELD.
REGARDING THE SNAPSHOT OF
ADMINISTRATORS WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO GET A HOLD OF CASTERS DATA-
THEY DON'T DISCERN BETWEEN
TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS WHEN
THEY GIVE THE REPORT OUT ON-
EDUCATORS LEAVING THE WORK
FORCE- IN THE FALL THE REPORTED
RETIREMENT INCREASED 26% DURING
THE SECOND HALF OF TWENTY TWENTY
COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. AND OF THOSE
RETIREES SURVEYED BY CASTERS 62%
HAD RETIRED EARLIER THAN
PLANNED. AND 56% R. PERCENT
CITED THE CHALLENGES OF TEACHING
DURING COVERED AGAIN THIS IS
ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS LIVE
TOGETHER. THE AMOUNT OF NEW
ADMINISTRATIVE CREDENTIALS IN
ISSUED IN CALIFORNIA HAS
STEADILY DECREASED IN THE PAST
SIX YEARS WITH ONLY FIFTEEN
HUNDRED PRELIMINARY
ADMINISTRATIVE CREDENTIALS
ISSUED IN TWENTY. TWENTY ONE-
THAT'S IN NEARLY 18% DECREASE
SINCE THE YEAR PRIOR. AND THEN I
ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT A
QUICK IT'S A NEW REPORT THAT
CAME OUT IN FEBRUARY- BY THE
RAND CORPORATION WITH NATIONWIDE
DATA. THE REPORT IS CALLED
EDUCATOR TURNOVER HAS MARKEDLY
INCREASED DISTRICTS HAVE TAKEN
ACTIONS TO BOOST TEACHER RANKS.
THAT REPORT SURVEY FOUND THAT
10% OF TEACHERS RETIRED OR
RESIGNED DURING THE TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO SCHOOL YEAR. THAT'S
UP FOUR PERCENTAGE POINTS FROM
PRE PANDEMIC LEVELS. BUT AMONG
PRINCIPLES THE TURNOVER WAS MUCH
HIGHER- THAT'S AGAIN. TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO DATA THEY SAID SIXTY
SIXTEEN PER SIGN OF PER. READ OR
RESIGNED AND THAT WAS UP
THIRTEEN POINT FROM PREPAY.
LEVELS SO JUST WANT TO REITERATE
SOMETHING THAT YOU HEARD FROM
THE SUPERINTENDENT- THANK THAT
OUR ADMINISTRATORS ARE FINDING
THAT SEASONED EDUCATORS AREN'T
INTERESTED IN PURSUING
ADMINISTRATIVE CREDENTIAL- WHEN
THEY ATE PIZZA SYSTEM PRINCIPAL
POSITION MAY ONLY PAY SLIGHTLY
MORE ANNUALLY. AND THEN THEY'RE
ALSO PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO
PURSUE THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE
CREDENTIALS SO- AND THEN ALSO
CONSIDERING THAT MANY
MILLENNIALS ARE STILL PAYING
THEIR STUDENT LOANS SO. I WE
JUST SHARE THE SENTIMENT THAT-
SAID THIS IS A REAL ISSUE AND WE
STAND READY TO PARTNER WITH WITH
ALL OF YOU FOLKS IN THE STATE
AGENCIES ON THESE EFFORTS THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TESTIMONY. NEXT WEEK.
SANGHAR WITH THAT CALIFORNIA'S
CLOSE PLACES ISSUE AND WE
REPRESENT A QUARTER MILLION
CLASSIFIED. SCHOOL EMPLOYEES IN
CALIFORNIA AND CLASSIFIED STAFF
OR EDUCATORS TO. SO MORE THAN
HALF OF OUR MEMBERS ARE- MAKE
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OR LESS
A YEAR. AND THE MAJORITY OF
WHICH ARE WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF
COLOR. AND MUCH OF THE NEWS AND
EVEN DISAPPEARING- IS FOCUSED ON
THE TEACHER CRISIS YET WE SEE
THE SAME ISSUES AND ARE
CLASSIFIED SPACE. SO. WE- I WANT
TO MAKE SURE- YOU KNOW WAY. WHEN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EIGHTY A
SHORTAGE IT'S NOT REALLY A
SHORTAGE OF WORKERS. IT'S
ACTUALLY THAT WORKERS ARE NOT
WILL NEED TO TAKE POVERTY JOBS
IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM WHEN THEY
ONLY PAID LESS THAN THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR AND- IN
N. OUT BURGER WE HEARD COSTS
STILL. PAYING A LOT MORE SO WE
APPRECIATE THE LEGISLATURE-
HAVING INVESTED IN CLASSIFIED.
AS SUPPORT IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS
BUT WITHOUT. ART TRYING
CLASSIFIED JOBS AND WE'RE NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT OR
RETAIN OUR CLASSIFIED STAFF.
THANK THANK YOU THE NATIONALIST
. MORNING TEN MEMBERS BRIANNA
BROWN'S ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS I'LL KEEP MY
COMMENTS BRIEF US VERY CLEAR
THAT THERE IS A MAJOR EDUCATOR
WORKFORCE SHORTAGE THAT IS-
EXACERBATED AND PROBLEMS
THROUGHOUT THAT LOCAL
EDUCATIONAL AGENCY IN THE SYSTEM
. VERY GRATEFUL THAT YOU ALL ARE
DEDICATING TIME AND SPACE TO
LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND WE
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUED
COLLABORATION AS WE WORK TO
DEVELOP A SOLUTION OF BEST SERVE
THE NEEDS OF ALL OF OUR
STUDENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THE NEXT WHICH- GOOD MORNING MY
NAME IS PATRICIA RUCKER AND I'M
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. I WANT TO
THANK THE PANEL FOR HAVING THIS
WORK FORCE US CONVERSATION TODAY
VTA ABSOLUTELY BELIEVES THAT THE
TEACHER SHORTAGE IS NOT AN
INTRACTABLE PROBLEM BUT IT HAS
BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THE ENTIRE
TWENTY FIVE YEARS. THAT I HAVE
WORKED FOR THE CALIFORNIA
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION AND WHILE
WE HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF
SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE MADE A DENT
OR IS EVEN CREATED LOCAL POCKETS
OF INNOVATION AND SUPPORTED MANY
DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE. THE
FACT REMAINS THERE ARE NOT JUST
GAPS IN THE WORK FORCE FOR HARD
TO STAFF POSITIONS BUT THERE ARE
ALSO HARD TO STAFF SCHOOLS. WE
NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE
INDIVIDUAL AND UNIQUE NEEDS OF
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS
OUR STATE. AND UNDERSTAND THE
UNIQUE PRESSURES IN THE SCHOOLS
PARTICULARLY OUR LOWEST
PERFORMING SCHOOLS THAT HAVE THE
HIGHEST NEEDS STUDENTS WHO ARE
PART WHO ARE WE ARE ASKING. TO
BECOME PART OF THE WORK FORCE
IT'S NOT THAT AFRICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS ARE BEING ILL TREATED
IN THEIR SCHOOLS BUT THE FACT IS
TEACHER WORKING CONDITIONS ARE
STUDENT LEARNING CONDITIONS. THE
WANTED STUDENTS SITTING IN A
CLASSROOM. THAT IS UNDER YOUR
UNDER RESOURCE UNDERSTAFFED THE
HAVE NO TEXTBOOKS THEY HAVE NO
DICTIONARIES OR THEY FEEL THE
SCHOOL DOES NOT VALUE THEM FOR
THE INDIVIDUALS THEY ARE. THEY
DO NOT LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL
STANDING IN FOR THE CLASSROOM
WHO THEY ADMIRE WHO THEY RESPECT
AND WHO THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE A
CONNECTION WITH. THEY DON'T SEE
THAT AS A REASON TO TURN AROUND
AND LOOK AT THE WORK FORCE WE
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE
TEACHING PROFESSION IS A HAS A
UNIQUE PIPELINE. OUR PIPELINE
BEGINS WITH THOSE PRE K.
STUDENTS WHO MATRICULATE THROUGH
THE SYSTEM ROGER WAIT OUT OF
HIGH SCHOOL AND INTO COLLEGE IF
WE DO NOT A TO IDENTIFY AND
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S WHERE OUR
PIPELINE NEWS. AND WE TREAT THAT
PIPELINE WILL. THE PROBLEMS WE
HAVE WILL CONTINUE TO EXAGGERATE
CONTINUE TO BE EXACERBATED I
CONTINUE TO FRUSTRATE THE
POLICYMAKERS. SITTING ON THIS
PANEL THANK YOU VERY IN MY-
