Intent to Submit Form

Literacy Professional Development Programs

Professional Learning Support Division

Welcome to the Literacy Professional Development (PD) Programs Intent to Submit online form.

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 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 pursuant to EC 33319.6 by September 30, 2026. Please refer to EC 33319.6 and the CDE Literacy PD Programs web page for more information.

In most cases, each PD program should be submitted separately. If the program meets all criteria, submit it on its own. If the program would meet all criteria if supplemented with another program, these programs may be submitted together.

Note: Completion of this survey is required for PD programs to be considered for approval. If this form is not submitted by the deadline indicated on the Literacy PD Programs web page, with the required signatures, the submission will not be reviewed by the CDE.

Submitting the Intent to Submit form does not require an applicant to submit an application. The purpose of the Intent to Submit process is to provide the CDE with information to plan adequately for the review of submissions and address any necessary fee adjustments.
