June 30, 2022 – John Affeldt was quoted in a story in EdSource by Diana Lambert, Daniel J. Willis and Yuxuan Xie about teachers’ credentials and training and new statewide data on teacher assignments.
“The release of the teacher data is a milestone achievement, years in the making,” said John Affeldt, managing attorney at Public Advocates, a public interest law firm. “We wish it had been here years ago but now the state will finally have data capturing the quality of the teaching force statewide down to the school level.”
