Investing in our Teachers

Phil Angelides will assure that every child has a well-trained teacher in the classroom and that every teacher has the support he or she needs to perform a difficult and vital job. As Governor, Phil will strengthen our schools by attracting bright young people to the teaching profession.

Phil Angelides’ Teachers for Our Future plan will recruit, train, and support 40,000 teachers over the next four years.  It will:

1. Restore and expand California's teaching fellowship program to attract bright young people and mid-career adults to teaching.
2. Roll back Arnold Schwarzenegger's fee increases on teacher training.
3. Identify the pay and incentives California needs to attract and retain talented teachers.
4. Restore funding for teacher support.
5. Double the number of public school counselors to support teachers in the classroom.
6. Expand homeownership assistance for teachers.
