CRLP is a network comprised of 13 regional sites situated across the state, housed in departments of education and university outreach centers. Each year, scholars and teachers from these sites work collaboratively to design, implement, evaluate, and refine professional development programs in an effort to enhance K-12 teacher's content knowledge and instructional strategies in accordance with the California State Board of Education-adopted Common Core State Standards in English-Language Arts and the California English-Language Arts Content Standards. CRLP programs engage educators in concrete tasks of teaching, assessment, peer coaching, inquiry, and reflection.

This collaborative network is dedicated to providing the highest quality reading and literature instruction, with a special focus on meeting the needs of English learners (as articulated through the Common Core State Standards), native speakers with low literacy, and students from economically disadvantaged communities. Headquartered at the University of California - San Diego, CRLP belongs to a larger network of discipline-specific programs known as the California Subject Matter Projects, administered by the University of California, Office of the President.
