California Department of Education Strategic Plan
Date: Apr 20, 2026Type: Strategic Plan
This Strategic Plan outlines the California Department of Education's mission to promote equity and educational excellence for all students, aiming to empower them for lifelong success in an interconnected world. The plan is driven by three critical strategic priorities: accelerating achievement for all, building healthy and safe learning environments, and preparing students for bright futures. To achieve these, the CDE focuses on objectives such as holding Local Educational Agencies accountable, building local capacity, expanding teacher recruitment and development, leveraging technology, increasing administrative efficiency, fostering strong home-school-community resources, advocating for additional resources, and improving internal business systems. Additionally, it highlights key initiatives including community schools, a statewide literacy campaign, universal prekindergarten, Black student achievement, closing the digital divide, professional learning for teachers, mental health support, universal meals, antibias education, and expanded learning programs.
California State Board of Education Agenda
Date: Mar 1, 2025Type: Meeting mention
The California State Board of Education is considering revisions to the reporting achievement level descriptors (ALDs) for the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) and Mathematics and the California Science Test (CAST). Focus groups were conducted to gather feedback on proposed changes to the ALDs and labels, with participants suggesting clearer and more straightforward language. The proposed revisions aim to improve understanding of student achievement without impacting the comparability of assessment results from year to year. If approved, the California Department of Education (CDE) will update Student Score Reports (SSRs), communications, training materials, and relevant web pages.
