The conference will present new evidence on the scale of California’s emerging teacher shortage, with a particular focus on already critical shortages of teachers in specific fields and regions.  It will also feature presentations on new approaches to teacher recruitment, preparation, and retention that might help to ameliorate the worst impacts of the shortage on California students.  Presenters and panelists will include senior researchers, policy leaders, and local practitioners.

The conference is co-sponsored by Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), the Learning Policy Institute (LPI) and the Education Policy Center at AIR.

Location: Tsakopoulos Library Galleria, Sacramento Public Library – 828 I Street
