OCDE supports districts’ efforts in preparing students for success with social-emotional learning strategies |
|
Juggling a myriad of tasks and to-do lists on a daily basis becomes second nature for adults, but the balancing act can be overwhelming for children as they navigate life on and off campus. Much of multi-tasking is learning how to think strategically, planning ahead and following through. It’s a tall order for many young students and perhaps still a challenge for adults as well. |

Can common ground be found on teaching reading in California? |
|
People that have been perceived as being in opposite corners over how to teach reading in California released a joint paper Thursday agreeing that foundational reading skills like phonics, vocabulary and comprehension should be taught explicitly and systematically to all students. And children who are learning English as a second language, who make up 1 in 4 first graders in California, also need lessons to practice speaking and listening in English, and to make connections with other languages they know. |
