The University of California, in combination with the California State University system, is a primary contributor to the California educational system. This dashboard visualizes California’s UC-educated teachers by combining the university’s alumni database with the California Department of Education’s records of public school teachers. The reported statistics are averaged over the teacher workforce for the 2015-2018 academic years. “# of students served” double-counts students who take multiple classes with UC-educated teachers. For more information about the conservative linking algorithm used to match teachers to UC alumni or other details, see the associated topic brief.
