Bill > SB1391

This bill aims to provide data tools and transparency to assess and optimize programs for recruiting, training, and retaining a diverse teacher workforce in California. Key provisions include: - Requiring the California Cradle-to-Career Data System to create a teacher training and retention dashboard by January 1, 2026, providing data on teacher pipelines, credentialing, hiring, retention, and diversity. - Requiring the Department of Education to collect data on award recipients of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification Incentive Program, and the Student Aid Commission to collect demographic data on Golden State Teacher Grant Program recipients. - Amending existing laws to incorporate this data collection and integration into the Cradle-to-Career Data System, with the goal of informing policymaking to build a more representative and sustainable teacher workforce that can serve California's diverse student population. The bill seeks to leverage data and accountability to support the state's efforts to address teacher shortages and improve equity in access to qualified and diverse teachers.
