The Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) TK–12 Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) Department provides high-quality professional learning, instructional coaching, expert technical assistance, and strong leadership to improve achievement in schools and districts. Department staff work with teachers, instructional coaches, and education leaders in both schools and districts to develop the knowledge and skills needed for schools and districts to engage in a systematic and sustainable improvement process. This work brings together resources from a variety of sources to improve instruction, close the achievement gap for identified student subgroups, build a collaborative culture, and strengthen site and district capacity to raise achievement for all students.

Additionally, we contribute to statewide projects in collaboration with other County Offices of Education. This work draws on diverse resources to strengthen instruction, close achievement gaps for identified student groups, foster collaborative cultures, and build site and LEA capacity to improve learning for all students.

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System helps identify students’ learning gaps, ensuring they receive the support needed to succeed. For testing, accountability information, and resources, visit the California Department of Education webpage.
