Building a Well-Qualified Transitional Kindergarten Workforce in California: Needs and Opportunities
The report Building a Well-Qualified Transitional Kindergarten Workforce in California: Needs and Opportunities from the Learning Policy Institute (LPI) provides estimates for how many Transitional Kindergarten (TK) teachers California will need through 2025–26 and discusses potential pathways to support a diverse, well-prepared workforce, both in TK and in other early childhood programs. LPI also offers recommendations that state policymakers could follow to stabilize, support, and expand the broader early childhood workforce and build pathways for racially, linguistically, and culturally diverse educators.
