California State Teacher Policy Yearbook - 2015 Press Release

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.
