The National Council on Teacher Quality today released its
ninth annual State Teacher Policy Yearbook, which includes a 360-degree analysis of every state law,
rule and regulation that shapes the effectiveness of the teaching profession in California.
California received an overall grade
of D, a grade drop from D+ in 2013.
With the exception of the state’s
commendable efforts to align its
teaching standards with the
requirements of K-12 college- and
career-readiness standards,
California falls behind other states
on teacher policy. T
