Teachers: training and support.

Existing law establishes the California Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment System to, among other things, provide an effective transition into the teaching career for first-year and 2nd-year teachers. This bill would express the Legislature's intent to enact legislation that would support the development of a professional system of training and support for new and existing teachers focused on creating and maintaining effective environments for pupil learning and that would ensure the training is aligned with certain performance expectations.
