INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Jones-Sawyer

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2016

   An act relating to teachers.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2264, as introduced, Jones-Sawyer. 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.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would do both of the following:
   (a) 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.
   (b) Ensure that the training is aligned with the Commission on
Teacher Credentialing's recently approved teacher performance
expectation that all teachers promote pupils' social-emotional
growth, development, and individual responsibility using positive
interventions and supports, such as restorative justice and conflict
resolution practices, to foster a caring community where each pupil
is treated fairly and respectfully by adults and peers.
