Curriculum and Instruction

The Curriculum and Instruction division oversees a wide range of programs and services that support professional learning, leadership and continuous improvement of instructional practice in our local districts and schools.

We provide two-way connection and advocacy between the CDE/State Board and our districts; between researchers and practitioners; and between the community and innovative educators.

We process information, policy, research, and resources into usable knowledge and tools for teachers and administrators.

We support educators’ career pathways through professional learning, credential programs, networking, grants, and recognition.

We help our districts build and implement equitable, excellent instructional programs for all students in their local contexts.

We sponsor and host county-wide academic events and competitions.

This division's programs include:

Credential Programs (CASC, PASC, TIP)

LCAP and Accountability

Professional Learning

Curriculum Council

English Learner and Multilingual Support

Educational Technology Services (ETS)

Student Events
