The Assignment Monitoring Program within the Commission on Teacher Credentialing ensures that educators hold the appropriate credential authorization(s) for their certificated assignments. Individuals assigned to provide instruction and/or services in certificated educator assignments in California’s public schools are required to hold the appropriate Commission-issued document authorizing the instruction/services, or be otherwise legally authorized through the use of flexibility afforded in Education Code or Title 5 Regulations. Additional information related to Assignment Monitoring can be found within the Commission’s Assignment Resources webpages.
Certificated educator assignments are reviewed by the employing local educational agency (LEA) and its monitoring authority within the California Statewide Assignment Accountability System (CalSAAS). The following is educator assignment data resulting from monitoring within the system, pursuant to Education Code §44258.9. Monitoring is based on assignments in place on census date, which is the first Wednesday in October. Definitions and outcomes may not be directly comparable to other teacher data reports, including the California Department of Education’s Teaching Assignment Monitoring Outcomes (TAMO) report.
