The Distribution of Teachers Among California's School Districts and Schools

Abstract

This study analyzes the teacher labor market in California. Specifically, we develop a series of models of the flows of both fully qualified and underqualified teachers, into and out of California's school districts and among the schools within those districts. For purposes of this analysis, we consider teachers who have fulfilled the requirements for a teaching credential to be fully qualified. We consider teachers who entered classrooms on the basis of an emergency permit or waiver less than fully qualified or underqualified. We use these models to explore the factors that affect the distributions of qualified teachers, underqualified teachers, and vacancies among schools and school districts serving different student populations.
