Hello Project CLEAR Community!
We are very excited for the official launch of the California Literacy Elevation by Accelerating Reading, or Project CLEAR, with the first cohort. As many of you know, Project CLEAR is a learning acceleration system from the San Diego County Office of Education, funded through the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, to build capacity within districts across California to implement and support literacy development. These evidence-based approaches to accelerated learning enable students to make strong and rapid progress in reading and writing.
Project CLEAR is a grant-funded opportunity to provide professional development to educators interested in becoming a Teacher Leader with expertise in reading intervention. These Teacher Leaders can expand availability and access to literacy acceleration, prevention, and intervention for diverse students in their district or school, including students who are English learners, students in dual language programs, and students with disabilities, including those with dyslexia and/or phonological processing issues.
Through this two-year program, participants will become Teacher Leaders who can train and coach teachers to implement comprehensive literacy strategies in schools and K-12 interventions for students who have reading, writing, and language-based needs.
