This brief, produced by the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning at WestEd, examines the education and experience levels of California’s underprepared teachers and compares them with those of certificated teachers.

Written by Camille Esch and Patrick Shields, the brief also analyzes and compares the distribution of California teachers—both credentialed and uncredentialed—by their experience and education levels.
