Bill overview
This bill aims to improve early literacy in California by establishing standards and guidelines for professional development programs and basic instructional materials. It requires the State Department of Education to develop a list of recommended professional development programs focused on effective literacy instruction and evidence-based reading skills, which the State Board of Education must then approve. Furthermore, the bill mandates the State Board to adopt updated basic instructional materials for English language arts, English language development, and reading, ensuring they align with current standards and incorporate effective teaching methods. The bill also addresses state-mandated local programs and reimbursement for costs associated with these initiatives.
