Guidelines and Data Sources
All data for teachers with or without a full credential are derived from the California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) Professional Assignment Information Form. Teacher counts include both full-time and part-time teachers. The number of teachers without a full credential is equal to the total number of teachers as reported in CBEDS minus the number of teachers with a full credential. A report can be generated at DataQuest [http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/].
Teaching outside subject area data should be available in the LEA's personnel office. In most instances, teaching outside subject area is a subset of total teacher misassignments (see data definition for Teacher Misassignments).
Additional information about the assignment of teachers outside their subject area of competence and the credential status of teachers, can be found at the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing [http://www.ctc.ca.gov/email/default.html] (Outside Source).
Teaching outside subject area data provided by the LEA.
All other data provided by the California Department of Education (CDE).
