The California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) College of Education has recognized Christine Anderson, Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) Curriculum Specialist, as a 2025 Partner of the Year. The award in the “district/county office of education” category highlights Anderson’s outstanding leadership and contributions in advancing English Language Arts and English Language Development at SCOE, where her work has strengthened teaching and learning across the region.
Anderson was honored for her positive impact on educators across the Sacramento region. For two decades, she has led Expository Reading and Writing Courses, where veteran and preservice English teachers deepen their critical reading, writing, and thinking skills, focusing on expository, analytical, and argumentative writing. In addition, she has presented trainings and workshops for thousands of teachers and administrators on reading instruction, the Common Core State Standards, and effective classroom practices. Anderson also serves on the Language and Literacy Advisory Board.
“Christine Anderson’s passion, leadership, and expertise have elevated instruction and expanded opportunities for students across Sacramento County,” said SCOE K–12 English Language Arts Director Becky Sullivan. “Her recognition is a well-deserved honor, and a testament to her tireless efforts to ensure that every student has access to high-quality teaching and learning.”
The award was presented at the College of Education’s “Stronger Together” awards reception at the CSUS Harper Alumni Center last Friday. Partners from early childhood programs, K–12 schools and districts, county offices of education, higher education, and community groups convene annually to recognize the impact of mentorship and collaboration. CSUS faculty and College of Education leadership nominated candidates, and the College’s Partnership Committee made the final selections.
Anderson’s recognition underscores SCOE’s ongoing role as a leader in supporting educators and students throughout the county and the region. In 2024, the SCOE Infant Development Program was recognized in the “early childhood education” category.
