Families can support language and literacy development with everyday conversations - at home, at the store, in the car, everywhere!

Open ended questions help children think for themselves, and give educators insight into how they process information. Encourage families to use open ended questions in their conversations with children too.

REEd welcomes the UC Davis College Opportunity Program

"Organizational characteristics and systemic structures that prioritize and resource teacher professional growth and collaboration are central to the role of districts in developing the ongoing professional growth of teachers. Yet, a key challenge facing districts is a lack of existing systemic structures to support professional growth to foster large-scale instructional improvement. The purpose of this paper is to explore how an organizational resourcing model might be used to build districts’ collective capacity to implement the cornerstones of a professional growth system."
