Abstract	The stakes for California's schools and students have never been higher. More than 1,600 California schools are now on a statewide "watch list" for failing to meet new federal standards, a number that is expected to triple in less than 5 years. Many of these schools face federal sanctions or even takeover by the state. This year's high school juniors--members of the class of 2006--must pass the state exit exam before receiving a diploma. Only about two-thirds have passed so far. These stakes are now about to be amplified. The settlement of a far-reaching civil rights case, Williams v. California, requires far more public scrutiny of schools, particularly those that are performing poorly. That is the context in which this annual examination of California's teaching profession is offered. The picture is decidedly mixed. (Author).
