The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE), in collaboration with Saint Mary’s College of California and the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE), is now offering an assessment course with two proposed pathways (one for teachers and the other for administrators) as part of its California Literacy Elevation by Accelerating Reading (Project CLEAR) learning acceleration system. The two-unit graduate assessment course provides an overview of early literacy assessments in phonics, reading, and writing. For those who are considering the Teacher Leader or Teacher pathways, this course would offer an introduction to the opportunities sponsored by Project CLEAR, along with allowing time for district and school leaders to develop, or redesign, a literacy acceleration plan to incorporate into their Local Control and Accountability Plan. 

This online, seven-course Professional Learning will be on Wednesday nights from 4:00-7:00 PM starting October 25.  Any teacher is encouraged to attend – what will they receive from attending all 7 sessions – $1500.00 stipend, up to $685.00 of resources for their classroom, 2 credits from Saint Mary’s College of Education, Assessment Booklet, and a deeper knowledge on how to assess for literacy within their context.   (The content of this course is based on Reading Recovery Intervention techniques.)
