CSMP

The mission of CRLP is to provide high quality, standards-based professional development in reading and language instruction to help ensure that every California student PreK-12 achieves the highest standards of academic performance.  We do this by:

Developing teachers' content knowledge and expanding their teaching stategies (guided by state-adopted frameworks, content standards, and instructional materials) through summer and academic-year institutes and professional  development programs.

Supporting teachers in the effective use of newly adopted, standards-based instructional materials.

Focusing on academic English language development to prepare all students to meet or exceed academic content standards in the subject areas.

Creating a statewide pool of expert teacher leaders and university scholars to conduct project programs  and to translate California's educational policies and priorities into sound classroom practices to improve student achievement in Pre-K-12 classrooms.

Linking universities, schools, and districts together in collaborative partnerships to improve teaching and learning with professional development designed to meet district needs.
