California Collaborative for Learning Acceleration Grant

The Contra Costa County Office of Education is proud to partner with Santa Clara County Office of Education as a regional hub on the California Collaborative of Learning Acceleration (CCLA) Grant. This project provides free, on-line, self-paced modules of professional learning about learning acceleration. Learning Acceleration is “about building bridges rather than filling holes” and provides student access to current grade-level content, rather than returning them to past content. Courses include an introductory course, and explicit strategies in math, literacy, and language development. Click here to access the free, on-line courses.
