ERIC ED293801: The California Teacher Trainee Program

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Faced with the probability of a future shortage of teachers, the State of California has been exploring possibilities for increasing the number of qualified personnel for the schools. One of the options considered was providing alternative routes of entry into the teaching profession. The Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) evaluated one alternative, the Teacher Trainee program, in order to determine, among other things, how the caliber of teacher trainees compared to that of other beginning teachers. It was suggested that, based on the findings of the study, the Legislature might wish to provide additional incentives for school districts to use this option as a means of increasing the supply of qualified teachers. The first chapter of this report provides background information on the Teacher Training program. Chapter 2 contains an analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the CTC study. In Chapter 3, an outline is presented of options for expanding the program.
