About CRLP

The CRLP's Mission

The mission of the California Reading & Literature Project (CRLP) is to provide high quality, standards-based professional development in reading and language instruction to help ensure that every California student PreK-12 achieves the highest standards of academic performance. Through collaborative partnerships with schools and districts, CRLP supports and sustains continuous academic growth for all students, Pre-K through 12th grade.

CRLP accomplishes this by:​

  • Developing teachers' content knowledge and expanding their teaching strategies (guided by state-adopted frameworks, content standards, and instructional materials) through summer and academic-year institutes and professional development programs.
  • Supporting teachers in the effective use of newly adopted, standards-based instructional materials.
  • Focusing on academic English language development to prepare all students to meet or exceed academic content standards in the subject areas.
  • Linking universities, schools, and districts together in collaborative partnerships to improve teaching and learning with professional development designed to meet district needs.
The CRLP is part of the California Subject Matter Project (CSMP), administered by the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) and hosted by regional campuses of the University of California, California State Universities, and independent California colleges. The CRLP at UC Santa Cruz is housed within the Educational Partnership Center.
