This technical brief, prepared by Regional Educational Laboratory West at WestEd, updates A Multistate Review of Professional Teaching Standards by incorporating California’s recently adopted teaching standards alongside those from Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. This report presents the key findings of the review.

The original review was developed at the request of key education agencies in California to inform the state’s revision of its teaching standards. This review focuses on the structure and target audience of the six states’ teaching standards and on selected content.

A supplemental document for this report is available: Profile of California’s Teaching Standards (PDF).
