From the Paper:

"In the absence of trained teachers, interns, emergency certified teachers, and otherwise under-prepared individuals are teaching in California schools. This piecemeal solution is causing gaps in the education because under-prepared teachers are more prevalent in at-risk schools. Quick and effective methods of attracting qualified teachers and retaining them in California is necessary to avoid serious long-term problems in education. Addressing areas of dissatisfaction among current teachers is also crucial to maintaining the current workforce."
