A Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) literacy initiative called Sacramento County READS is focused on the development and implementation of collaborative systems of teaching and learning. Through innovative programs, community partnerships, family engagement, and supportive services, the program is dedicated to improving reading and literacy outcomes for all learners.
As part of the initiative, SCOE is leading a Community of Practice for local education agency (LEA) leadership teams, aligning with its goal for all learners in Sacramento County to meet reading and literacy milestones and become proficient readers. Sessions include keynote speakers, collaborative learning within and across LEAs, district spotlights, and team time.
