| California Education Code (EC) Section 33319.6(a), directed the State Board of Education (SBE) to approve and the California Department of Education (CDE) to post criteria and guidance for the selection or development of in-service professional development (PD) programs for effective means of teaching literacy in transitional kindergarten to grade five (TK–5), inclusive, with a list of in-service PD programs that have been deemed to meet those criteria by September 30, 2026. EC 33319.6 required the SBE and CDE to solicit interest holder input when developing the criteria, guidance, and list of PD programs. Please refer to the CDE Literacy PD Programs web page for additional information, including the Criteria and Guidance for the Selection of Literacy PD Programs, which was approved by the SBE on November 5, 2025. |
| The Proposed Literacy PD Programs List is currently posted on the CDE Literacy PD Programs web page. Program submissions were reviewed by a team of Literacy PD Program Review Committee Members, who were selected through a formal application process for their expertise in effective means of teaching literacy in TK‒5, English language development, and the precepts of effective PD. The committee reviewed programs for alignment to the SBE-approved criteria to determine recommendations for approval. |
| Members of the public have an opportunity to provide input on the Proposed Literacy PD Programs List via this form through July 15, 2026. |
