Guidelines and Data Sources

Data are derived from the CBEDS Professional Assignment Information Form, except for data regarding the assignment of teachers outside their subject areas of competence that must be determined from local data sources.

A report can be generated at DataQuest [http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/].

Teaching outside subject area of competence is, in most instances, a subset of total teacher misassignments (see data definition for Teacher Misassignments).
