As an adjunct to the California State Board of Education's 1983 report, "Raising Expectations: Model Graduation Requirements," this paper presents legislative and administrative recommendations on teacher quality and on the principal's role.

The subjects of the recommendations are (1) admission standards for teacher education, (2) improved teacher education programs, (3) alternative certification, (4) teacher salaries, (5) professionalism for teachers, (6) improving teaching conditions, (7) lesson preparation time, (8) career ladders, (9) recognition for outstanding performance, (10) staff development, (11) teacher recruitment in high schools and colleges, (12) teacher dismissal, and (13) the principal's role and principal selection.
