DESCRIPTION

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including in some cases extended periods of remote instruction, has contributed to lost instructional time for California students. Section 152 of the 2021-22 Education Omnibus Trailer Bill (Assembly Bill 130) appropriates funding to the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) to administer, in partnership with one or more county offices of education, “…evidenced-based professional education for educators that can support learning acceleration, particularly in mathematics, literacy, and language development.”

CCEE is seeking submissions of professional learning opportunities and materials related to evidence-based learning acceleration strategies in mathematics, literacy, and language development. These professional learning opportunities will be part of building out a robust statewide infrastructure to ensure educators anywhere in the state, including those in remote areas, have access to high quality professional learning opportunities. The professional learning system created through this RFP will be aligned to the MTSS Framework for inclusive academic instruction.

CCEE is seeking proposals that address universal instruction, supplemental support, and intensified support in literacy, language development, and/or mathematics in a multi-tiered system of support. For the purpose of this RFP, accelerated learning strategies are those designed to meet students where they are in their learning and use evidence-based approaches to enable students to make strong and rapid progress in their mastery of knowledge and skills. These strategies may include individual, small group, or whole class instruction using well grounded methods with scaffolding and differentiation that meet students’ specific learning needs. (AB 130, Sec. 152, 3(g))

What is a Davey?

David defeated the giant Goliath with a big idea and a little rock – the sort of thing small organizations do each year. The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of the “Creative Davids” who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than huge budgets.

The Davey is sanctioned and judged by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier Who’s Who communications professionals from a variety of firms such as  Condé Nast, Disney, GE, Microsoft, and Yahoo! to name a few.

17th Annual Davey Awards

CCEE was awarded a Silver Davey for its #ComeBackCASchools microsite designed to spotlight LEA’s collaborative approaches in getting Californians back to school. The site focuses on sharing tools, resources and practices to leverage partnerships and facilitate dialogue among LEAs to support each other during the pandemic.

It created a sense of community through its spotlight summaries about the innovations and insights from the field, and for that, was awarded a Silver Davey.

CCEE is grateful for the partnership with Full Capacity Marketing (FCM) for developing the concept, tools, and resources to support LEAs with the safe return to schools.
